The route from Cala Fuili to Cala Luna is an experience worth living because it offers you the chance to spend a day in one of the most beautiful Sardinian coast: The Gulf of Orosei.
A hard trekking in a sunny hot day that will give you the chance to dive in the cool crystal-clear waters of Cala Luna.
Let’s go:
From the car park in Cala Fuili, you can start your walk or decide to have a rest in this beautiful beach. With due caution, lean out of the ridge and have a look at the landscape. Cala Fuili beach is just under you. Cala Gonone and the rock called Biddiriscottai in the north. The incredible view of the Gulf of Orosei’s cliffs in the south. Get your wind back and start your trip. Wear comfortable shoes and take a stock of water, you will need it for the flight of steps that leads you to Cala Fuili beach and to the other side of the cliff. This trip is hard at the beginning: you have to climb the concrete and calcareous stairs but don’t give up, after the flight of steps you will have a rest and enjoy the landscape. Junipers shaped by the wind, cyclamens, lentisk, wild violets, ferns and the Mediterranean scrub are part of this relaxing landscape that will help you to make it up with the world.
So go on and, if you are an experienced trekker, reach the natural narrow gorge, it will take less than one hour.
Take your time when going through the small cool wood. The finishing line is very close, you can see it from the cliff, it’s Cala Luna with its white sand and unforgettable waters will make you forget you reffort. Go to the beach and plunge in its waters.
Take the boat from Cala Gonone to come back, you will arrive in about 20 minutes or…if you want, take again the same route.
FLORA: juniperthickets and holm-oaks, Mediterranean scrub and lentisk, wild violets and ferns.
FAUNA: boars, woodpigeons, Eleonora’s falcon and goshawks.
