Detailed itinerary

One stop will be at Cala Sisine, this extraordinary beach stretches along the coast, formed of fine white sand.

The other stop will be at Cala Mariolu, named among the most beautiful beaches in the world, consisting of round, white and pink pebbles mixed with sand and heavenly blue waters. The other stop will be at Cala Mariolu, named among the most beautiful beaches in the world, consisting of round, white and pink pebbles mixed with sand and heavenly blue waters. It owes its name to the monk seal that, it is said, ‘stole’ the catch from the nets of fishermen from Ponza, hence it was called the ‘Mariolo’ (thief).

Cala Biriala is a pretty little cove of landslide origin that lies at the foot of the limestone cliff. The beach is made up of white pebbles with rounded edges: the turquoise waters around it are responsible for this slow and incredible work.

The tour will start from the port of this Ogliastra village. During the navigation you can admire the various peculiarities of the coast including Cala Goloritzè.

Before returning to port, there will be a passage through the fjords between the walls of Capo Monte Santo, inside Portu Cuau and Portu Pedrosu.
