Description

Located along the eastern coast of the island, Triei is a most fascinating village surrounded by a wild, uncontaminated territory where human activities and environmental safeguard have gone hand in hand creating a sort of perfect symbiotic balance. The village is surrounded by hills shrouded by forests of evergreen oaks, carobs, wild olive trees and Mediterranean bush. In spring, the hills dress up in the yellow of the broom flower, which gives its name to the village: Trieu, ancient Nuragic toponym meaning “place full of brooms”.

The village centre is dominated by the church of SS. Cosma and Damiano with frescoes dating back to the 1300s: Agriculture here means vineyards. Since the 1700s, renowned wines of excellent quality are produced and distilled (Filu e’Ferru) . Another local tradition is apiculture. Production includes several types of honey; among them is the highly praised bitter honey obtained from arbutus flowers.
