Butterfly, Cala Gonone
1 of 3 beaches at Cala Gonone on Sardinia's central eastern coast
Very yummy (and surprisingly lightweight) pizza
Cala Gonone, looking southwards
Gulf of Orosei coastline, looking northwards on the path to Cala Luna
Local landscape
Lava coast
Grotta di Ispinigoli. Note the metal walkways for scale. One of the biggest single caverns in Sardinia.
Marvellous columns formed when stalactites and stalagmites meet
Grotta di Ispinigoli: tallest column in Europe at 38m
Looking inland across vineyards
Cala Cartoe beach, a short distance north up the coast from Cala Gonone
Cala Cartoe
The older (1 of 2) steep roads out of Cala Gonone, directly across the mountains

Wines, oils, cheeses: fabulous local fare :o)
