Overview

Sotto Torre is a kitesurf spot in Calasetta, on the Sant'Antioco island, situated below the old Aragonese watchtower that overlooks the channel between Sant'Antioco and San Pietro islands. The spot benefits from the Maestrale (northwest) and Libeccio (west-southwest) channelled through this stretch of water. The historic tower provides a landmark orientation point while on the water. A unique and characterful spot in one of Sardinia's most authentic fishing villages.
