Sardinia

A descent of about 3.5 km from Su Porteddu, on the Golgo plateau, to a pebble cove overlooked by a limestone pinnacle. Access on foot only, with a booking and a daily quota; allow 1 hour 30 minutes down, longer to climb back up.

Spectacular gorge with walls several hundred metres high, reached on foot from the Genna Silana pass or from the Flumineddu valley. Tickets are paid on site in cash, with no booking; routes of varying difficulty, with or without a guide.

Former prison island turned national park, known for its white donkeys and unspoilt beaches. It is reached by boat from Stintino or Porto Torres, then explored on foot, by bike or with authorised guides and operators.

In season, the Cala Gonone boatmen's consortium serves the coves of the gulf, including Cala Luna and Cala Mariolu, as well as the Bue Marino cave. As some beaches have visitor caps, check that access is included in your ticket.

Sardinia's first national park: Caprera, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and dozens of granite islets. Trips with authorised boat operators from Palau or La Maddalena; drones are banned and the Spiaggia Rosa is closed to the public.

White sand and shallow water facing the La Pelosa tower. From 15 May to 15 October 2026, online booking and a ticket are required, with 1,500 entries a day and a compulsory mat; children under 12 do not need to book.

Granite seabeds, pinnacles and seagrass meadows around Isola dei Cavoli and Capo Carbonara, explored with authorised dive centres. The marine area's website publishes its zoning and the rules for navigation and anchoring.

Sea cave with rock formations and a saltwater lake at the foot of the Capo Caccia cliffs. Reached by boat from Alghero harbour or on foot via the Escala del Cabirol, more than 650 steps; may close in rough seas, booking recommended.
