Authorities on the Italian island of Sardinia have restricted access to a picturesque waterfall and natural pool after too many tourists came to take selfies.

Last weekend about 300 people a day visited S'Ogliu Ermanu, the mayor of the western Sardinian municipality of Ussassai, Francesco Usai, told the ANSA news agency.
