Gulf of Orosei and Barbagia in 5 days

The most beautiful coves in the Mediterranean, canyons, springs and the villages of murals and masks. Sea and mountains in the same trip.

1. D1

   Cala Gonone and Cala Luna on foot

   The coastal path from Cala Fuili to Cala Luna: a couple of hours through scrub and cliffs, then a swim below the caves. You can come back by boat.

2. D2

   The gulf by boat

   A boat trip along the coast: the Grotta del Bue Marino and then stops in the coves, as far as Cala Mariolu. Set off early: the morning light makes the water incredible.

3. D3

   Supramonte

   The Su Gologone spring and then on foot towards the Gorropu gorge or the village of Tiscali. These are real hikes: good shoes, plenty of water and, if possible, a guide.

   Baunei and Cala Goloritzé

   Drive up to the Golgo plateau and walk down to Cala Goloritzé. The trail is steep on the way back: better to set off early in the morning.

Tip. If the wind changes: with the Mistral the gulf is sheltered and the boats almost always go out; with the Scirocco, mountain days are better.
