The district of Castiadas is made up of various agricultural zones within the central southern area of Sarrabus.

The area was home to a penal colony from 1800 until 1950, which carried out the land reclamation of the plain, and as a result today the area thrives on agriculture and stock farming.

Visitors to the area can still see the imposing former prison, which bears witness to this historic period.

The mountains behind the town are of great natural interest. The Monte Minniminni and the state owned forest of Acqua Callenti, covered in splendid holm oak trees, are the ideal refuge for the Sardinian deer.

Visitors can enjoy extraordinary walks in this natural paradise, where they can admire the rich plant and wild life, as well as a breathtaking panorama of the Muravera and Castiadas coasts to the north and the Villasimius coast to the south.

The splendid Castiadas coastline offers fine, white sandy beaches and a crystal clear sea. Among the jewels to discover we recommend, in particular, the solitary beach of Santa Giusta, the charming Cala Sant'Elmo, the magnificent beach of Cala Sinzias and the beautiful beach of Cala Pira.

Continuing along the coast road to Villasimius visitors are rewarded with an incredible marine panorama of sandy shores, rocky headlands and a crystalline sea.
