Full description
If your idea of a holiday includes an elegant and spacious boat, dreamy coves and a lunch of local produce, then you've come to the right place.
Set sail aboard a splendid Turkish schooner, a 22-metre-long queen of the sea built entirely of mahogany. From Arbatax, it will take you to discover the most iconic bays of the Gulf of Orosei, from Cala Goloritzé to Cala Mariolu.
A full-day tour where your only concern will be deciding whether to sunbathe or dive into the turquoise waters!
What we will do
Departure is at 8.00 am from the port of Arbatax (remember to arrive 20 minutes early for embarkation!). The captain will welcome us on board and, once all participants are seated, we will cast off our moorings to set sail.
The first stop will be theIsolotto d'Ogliastra, with impressive pink granite and red porphyry rocks emerging from the transparent waters. The perfect place to admire the unspoilt nature, while the crew will offer us coffee and biscuits.
We will continue along the headland of Pedralonga and its spectacular cliffs, up to 800 metres high, until we reach the iconic Cala Goloritzè where we will stop for a refreshing swim of about 15 minutes in its azure waters, followed by a spritz.
Those who wish may choose to visit the suggestive Grotta del Fico (visit of about 1 hour optional and not included), and then make a short stop at Cala Biriala (30 minutes). Alternatively, we can stop at Cala Biriala for a longer swim and relaxation, enjoying the beach for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
After stopping at the enchanting Piscine di Venere, the crew will serve us lunch on board (included) of pennette al sugo di scampi, accompanied by sangria, red wine, water, coffee and myrtle.
In the afternoon, we will sail to the beautiful Cala Mariolu, one of the pearls of the Gulf of Orosei. During the approximately one-and-a-half-hour beach break we will have plenty of time to relax, swim, or explore the cove, which is famous for its white rocks and seabed dotted with smooth pebbles.
The return to Arbatax is scheduled at around 5 p.m., after about 9 hours of experience.
