Cala Gonone

It’s incredibile how such an inaccessible coast is so rich with small coves and bays which are quite easily reachable on foot, by car and by boot.
The coast is steep, with hanging cliffs reaching down to the sea, pinnacles and rock towers, interrupted by some small and gorgeous coves.
Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Goloritzè are the most known ones while Cala Fuili, Cala Osala and Cala Cartoe are example of a wild and still unspoilt nature.
