Explore Cala Mariolu: an adventurous trek to the pearl of the Gulf of Orosei
A challenging route: steep trails and breathtaking views along the wild Ogliastra coast
Relax and swim in turquoise waters: the perfect reward after the hike
An intense and exciting trek will take you to the beautiful Cala Mariolu, one of the pearls of the Gulf of Orosei, in the central-eastern coast of Sardinia. Between Punta Mudaloro and Punta Ispuligi, Cala Mariolu will enchant you with its white beach and its sea of intense colors. The beach is surrounded by the wild rocky coast of Ogliastra which also reaches 500 meters high overlooking the crystalline sea.
An earthly paradise accessible by land only through a challenging trekking route immersed in the dense Mediterranean scrub, where you will walk on white limestone, rocks and paths with an important slope and you will encounter fascinating natural sculptures such as the Su Tasaru arch. But the effort and your desire for adventure will be well rewarded by unspoilt nature, postcard views and a well-deserved dive into the waters of dream.
The route includes 5 wooden stairs not suitable for those suffering from vertigo
