Situated between the sea and a great pool, Tortoli is the largest town of the Ogliastra region. Its flourishing economy is due to its vicinity to the Port of Arbatax, the airport and some superb beaches. To see: the Church of St Lussurio and the Church of St Andrea. Along the streets of Tortoli visitors can admire the sculptures which are part of the 'Su logu de s'iscultura' project, the town of sculpture. The 's'imbudu' ritual is an event of ancient origins, an auction, in which he who makes the best offer gains the right to drive the Ox drawn cart with the statue of St Lussurio during the Celebrations in honor of the saint. Within easy reach of Tortoli one finds Porto Frailis, Capo Bellavista, the Rocce Rosse, the Tower of St Gemiliano, the Orrì beach known also as the Musculedda, the Cea Beach and 'Scoglius Arrubius', the red cliffs of which have become a veritable natural monument.
