The Gulf of the Island is undoubtedly the ideal place to spend the perfect holiday between sea and mountains: a path that combines these two aspects is the Bergeggi Ring Botanical Path, an incredible path immersed in the varied naturalistic environments of the territory.
The botanical path boasts a rich flora and develops along the road that connects Torre d'Ere to Gola S. Elena. You can reach it either with your private vehicles (it has parking areas near the entrances) or by public transport, and it is suitable for everyone.

Female Cistus, Montpellier Cistus, Sessile-leaved Cistus, Ivy, Fillirea, Holm oak, Mastic, Myrtle, Olive, Venus' navel, Parietaria, Aleppo pine, Butcher's broom, Gaggia, Robbia, Downy oak, Stracciabrache.
In addition, there are some panoramic points, such as the Forte S. Elena viewpoint, rest areas with benches for your picnic, an old furnace, dating back to 1849 and some aqueduct stations. Watchful eyes will also be able to discover the dry stone walls, typical Roman constructions, built with stone blocks suitably arranged and assembled.
A magnificent nature trail, suitable for the whole family, in search of peace and freedom, with wonderful views towards the sea.
