The Dorgali Region
Boasting an incomparable natural, food and wine, artistic and cultural heritage, the ancient medieval village of Dorgali and its seaside village Cala Gonone are located in the centre of the eastern coast of Sardinia.
A country rich in history and tradition, its territory extends from the imposing mountain ranges of the Supramonte to the idyllic beaches of the Gulf of Orosei.
The beaches
Steep cliffs overlooking the sea, turquoise waters and splendid pebble beaches and very white sand: the Gulf of Orosei is the most pristine stretch of sea in the whole of Sardinia.
Here are the most beautiful beaches in the whole of the Mediterranean such as Cala Fuili, the famous Cala Luna, the enchanting Cala Sisine followed by the award-winning Cala Mariolu, a true pearl of the Gulf. The entire coast is a succession of coves, small bays and inlets to be discovered, many of which can only be reached by sea from Cala Gonone such as the beautiful Cala dei Gabbiani and Cala Goloritzè.
Archaeological sites
Dorgali is a magical place full of treasures: as evidenced by the immense richness of its archaeological heritage consisting of caves, dolmens, nurhags and Roman Nuragic settlements.
