Capo Carbonara lighthouse Sardinia

There are a lot of lighthouses all around Sardinia some are very old, they are usually closed and fenced to the public. Beginning in Cagliari Province in the south they are listed clockwise around the island. A few hundred metres from Capo Carbonara the Island of Cavoli emerges, a little pearl on a cobalt-blue sea. The old lighthouse building can still be seen on the island, though the present lighthouse has been transferred to Capo Carbonara. The island is also a paradise for lovers of underwater photography, because of the form of the coast and sea-bed and because of the great variety and quantity of fish.
