Cala Gonone can be reached by passing through a part of the wild and solitary countryside of the inland area called Barbagia. Cala Gonone is located at the base of this stunning valley, where it meets the sea. Besides being blessed with one of Sardinia's most varied coastal tracts, Cala Gonone also benefits from an interior that is exceptionally interesting in terms of archaeology and natural history. Indeed, just a few miles from Cala Gonone, there is a plethora of fascinating archaeological sites, including Nuraghe Mannu, the Nuragic villages of Serra Orrios and Tiscali and the tomb of the Giants of Thomes, amongst many others. All of these sites are easy to reach thanks to the youth co-operatives that organise guided tours both on land and by sea.
