Hey you! Yes, I'm talking to you, you've finally come this way. I want to introduce you to one of Sardinia's wonders, perhaps you already know it and think you have all the information, or else it will be completely new to you.<\/p>

I have the confidence to surprise you with my words. But what am I rambling on about with this premise? About theunique and inimitable CALA GONONE<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I know, I know, I can see that huge question mark on your little head perfectly, let me guide you on this virtual adventure.<\/p>

Cala Gonone is a beautiful seaside town in the heart of Sardinia, located in the municipality of Dorgali, in the province of Nuoro.<\/p>

A place rich in history, as it was inhabited by the Nuragic civilisation, later settled by the Roman and Byzantine civilisations.<\/p>

This beautiful coastal town is located about 30 kilometres from the Tiscali Archaeological Area<\/a>.<\/p>

Its brightest gem, however, remains the sea.
A water of sensational colours, from the light blue or green as clear as precious stones to the dark blue almost black of its depths.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you know that one of its characteristics was inaccessibility? Yes indeed, think that long ago the only way to reach Cala Gonone was by sea!<\/p>

Now, thanks to various tunnels built in the headlands, access is made easier - excluding, of course, this magical invention of internet<\/em>\u00a0that allows you to see Cape Horn from your sofa.<\/p>

Then, driving along the SS 125 Orientale Sarda near Dorgali, you find the deviation that takes you through a tunnel into the incredible world of Cala Gonone.<\/p>

Once you have left the last tunnel, a steep cliff overlooking the coast will open up in front of you, where you will get a hint of the wonders that await you.<\/p>

The WOW effect is assured.<\/mark>\u00a0<\/p>

Another WOW effect - with chills - guaranteed is the spectacle of the Grotte del Bue Marino. Inside the cave tunnels you might get cold - I shivered a little, albeit pleasantly - because of the temperature change you will feel being inside the mountain.<\/p>

All around you you can hear the sound of flowing water and see small drops slowly falling from the ceiling, creating the wonders you can contemplate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To fully discover Cala Gonone and its secrets, I suggest you first start with... some ice cream!<\/p>

The waterfront is full of artisan ice-cream parlours that also produce special flavours such as the\u00a0myrtle<\/em>,\u00a0s'aranzada<\/em>the\u00a0nougat<\/em>\u00a0and other wonderful flavours of Sardergna.<\/p>

Tied then are the super caves and fantastic beaches<\/strong> immersed in the wilderness and surrounded by the typical plants of Sardinia<\/a>.<\/p>

I recommend visiting the numerous beaches with crystal-clear, vividly coloured water and, of course, the caves, among which the unforgettable Sea Ox Cave<\/strong>, a cave so famous that it represents Cala Gonone in the world.<\/p>

I happened to tell about my trip to Cala Gonone and never would have imagined that Grotte del Bue Marino were even famous in Japan!<\/em><\/p>

Of the various beaches I mentioned earlier, one of the most famous is certainly\u00a0Cala Luna<\/strong>an inlet about 7 km long, where you will not find much sand, but rather a vastness of pebbles finely polished by the water.<\/p>

The predominant colour of the sea is green, intense as if it were a vast emerald.<\/p>

We then went to Cala Goloritz\u00e8<\/a>. The beach is famous for the splendid limestone arch and the Spire<\/strong>a 140-metre-high limestone monolith towering over the small bay.<\/p>

You can reach this beach by following a path a couple of kilometres long starting from Baunei or, you can renting an inflatable boat<\/a> to Cala Gonone (as we did) and get there by sea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Absolutely not to do?<\/p>

Do not arrive at Cala Gonone without having booked your boat trip to see the Gulf of Orosei<\/a>!<\/p>

Cala Gonone is a small town that hosts many tourists from April to October, reaching its maximum density during the summer. The companies that offer boat excursions are many, but the tourists... are more!<\/p>

If you have not booked your boat trip online in time, you risk not finding a boat available, especially in July and August.<\/p>

At YepSea.com, you can choose from different types of excursions such as a sailing boat trip, an excursion with a visit to the Grotta del Bue Marino (Sea Ox Cave), or take advantage of dinghy hire, even without a driving licence, to visit the coast on your own.<\/p>

What are you still waiting for? I know I have already won you over, so come and visit us and don't hesitate to book and purchase your excursion in advance, and your unforgettable experience will be guaranteed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
