Again, a piece of paradise on earth.. a place of rock and crystal water
Cala Gonone is a little fishermen village located in the Gulf of Orosei. It looks over a stretch of cost where you will find some of the most beautiful beaches in the med. Some are wilder, such as Cala Luna & Cala Mariolu, others also suitable for families such Palmasera, or even Centrale. The nearest airport is Olbia.
Apart from the incredible beaches, it is also a great destination for those who love trekking or even free climbing and bungee jumping (not my case!). Su Gorroppu, S’Abba Durche, Cala Fuili – Cala Luna are all enchanting and very popular itineraries for the trekking lovers.
Finally, you can take a boat excursion to the grottoes of del Bue Marino or visit some of the nearby archaeological sites like Tiscali (yep…this is where your broadband name comes from!). To visit the Bue Marino’s grottoes you will need to visit the information point in Cala Gonone’s pier.
Actually I forgot the food! Superb! Do not miss the local gnocchi: “anzellottos”

Now, I can not wait to go there again !
Am I in the Caribbean islands?
This is what you will wonder if you go to beach of Tuerredda (the little tower) on the South cost of Sardinia and at only an hour drive from Cagliari.
One of my favorite: an amazing bay, crystal waters, clear sandy beach and a little Spanish tower overlooking it all.
There is a kiosk bar and some deckchair and parasol hiring facilities as well, even if last summer, I found the bar very overpriced and the barman not the most pleasant person..
For the rest.. it is paradise on earth.. but if it gets very busy in August and late July!

P.S. places to stay in the area.
Here’s a post from Glenn, a friend that has been in Sardinia few times. I am wondering if the pictures were taken from his terrazza! Thanks Glenn. Anyone that feels like writing something about Sardinia can email us.

How many times we hired a car in Sardinia and drove from Cagliari to Villasimius Luca? Many..but many times we did not even reach it..
There are too many others beautiful places in between.. the journey in itself is spectacular if you can relax and enjoy the views. ..as I normally do. Off course, if you are driving, you must focus on the many narrow bends up and down this road.. as normally Luca does..

Hi everybody, I would like to introduce a small paradise in Cagliari. Some pictures:
The area called Cala Mosca has few beaches, still has the fine white sand that use to be in all Poetto (Cagliari’s beach). Cala Mosca was never busy in the past, mostly due to the Military Bases that were just there, so the area was partly off limit. Another reason was the “popular “neighborhood nearby (we will talk about it in another post).
As soon as you arrive to the first beach of the bay (at the end of this article a link wit directions), you can park the car in front of the old base and go down few steps. This first spot is the only one with sand so nowadays it can get quite busy. Looking at the sea from the sandy beach you have on your right plenty of room to swim (I can assure the water is amazing); on your left there is a hotel with a restaurant, which is not actually very good to see, but if you go there at night to have dinner, they have a very nice terrazza overlooking the bay……
