Sept.30-Oct.5 Eastern Sardinia, Famous beaches, Easy walks, Culture, Snorkeling

After 3 investigation trips to Eastern Sardinia, we are excited to announce our first trip to this stunning island! We invite you to explore the best beaches in Italy, easy-moderate scenic hikes of 5-8 km with coastal views and 360-degree summits, unique Sardinian culture, and tasty local food! The beginning of October is the best time for the trip when the sea is still very warm, the air is not too hot, and the tourist boats are still running to the famous beaches. Some of them are not easy to reach on foot unless you hike for a long time on the rocky limestone terrain.
Having just come back from Sardinia, we have decided to organise a small trip this October. The place is so nice that we do not want to postpone this event till 2026.

Discover the Untamed Beauty of Eastern Sardinia
Stretching for kilometres along the turquoise embrace of the Mediterranean, the eastern coast of Sardinia is a breathtaking blend of golden cliffs and secluded, low-lying beaches. Here, nature reigns supreme. In the heart of the Supramonte mountains, goats, sheep, donkeys, and wild boar roam freely through forests of strawberry trees, holly oaks, and ancient oaks. Overhead, the majestic royal eagle soars, nesting on the highest peaks and guarding this pristine paradise.
We will be exploring this beauty on foot and by boat.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Experience the beauty of the National Park of the Bay of Orosei and Gennargentu, its coastline, when the sea is still warm and the air is about 25 °C.
• Easy/Moderate Coastal Walks, around 5-8 km a day, inhaling a healing mix of sea and juniper trees' air.
• A new destination, a tailor-made event, based in Cala Ganone town, a getaway for the boat trips.
• Experienced Hike Leaders, who pre-walked the routes.
• Optional water activities: SUP, sea kayaking, open sea swimming, snorkeling or even scuba diving if you dare.
• An optional boat trip to the most charming and evocative coves and beaches in the Gulf of Orosei, observing the splendour of Cala Goloritzé, a rocky, dazzling turquoise bay.
Stopping and swimming at Cala Luna and others.
• Visit the largest ethnographic park - museum in Sardinia - The S'Abba Frisca (fresh water), with its farm, where you'll meet the various animals that inhabit the park.

ITINERARY
The event starts on Tuesday, 30 September, at the Olbia airport at 11:00 and finishes there on Sunday, 5 October, at 15:10.
The ancient Greeks called it olbìa - ‘happiness’. It is the gateway to the island and the driving force behind the economy of the Gallura area. Many flights arrive there, and it is a good town to stay in and explore before or after the trip.
After the pick-up, we will take you to the Porto Taverna beach for your first swim and lunch. There is a high chance you may see flamingos there in the freshwater lakes, located close to the beach.
We will make our way to the accommodation in Cala Ganone in the afternoon.
The exact itinerary of the following days features the highlights listed above and will be shared with attendees closer to the day. Every day is planned with care and adjusted according to the most recent weather forecast.

LOCATION
We will be based in Cala Gonone, a seaside town, rising up from the Golfo di Orosei. It is located on a steep hill at the foot of the extinct volcano Codula Manna and slopes down to the gulf. From here you can go on to discover numerous beautiful bays, such as Cala Ziu Martine, Cala Fuili, Cala Cartoe and Cala Luna, a beautiful pale blue bay dominated by steep, lunar grey rock walls.
Cala Luna is one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting beaches. Graced with a beach of almost powdery sand and surrounded by blooming oleander trees, it was the setting for the Lina Wertmüller cult film Swept Away.
We can immerse ourselves in the idyllic peace of Cala Luna, marvel at the wild nature of Cala Mariolu, and observe the crystal-clear waters of Cala Goloritzé.
