Limestone bastions overlooking the sea, indescribably beautiful stretches of sand and water so blue that it blends with the sky; and also, canyons, karst valleys, sheer limestone rock faces and the famous chasm of Golgo, (a funnel almost 300m deep): this is the territory of Baunei, a village perched on a limestone mountain, dominating one of the Island's most greatly admired stretches of coastline.
Cala Biriola, Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sistine are the most symbolic beaches in this corner of the Ogliastra coasts remarkable in varied scenery and rare species of wildlife. Another place not to be missed is Cala Luna, one of the wonders of the Gulf of Orosei, located half way between the territories of Baunei and Dorgali.
The Mediterranean scrub, forming a dense thicket of centuries-old Holm oaks, junipers and pines, look down onto the sea. The mouflon, the Eleonora's hawk, the golden eagle and the Audouin's gull have chosen this wild and rugged place as one in which to carry on the species.
The rural church of San Pietro, the Nuragic settlements and the tombs of the giants worth a visit.
