We enjoyed the ferry ride and tour of the Grotto. Tours are in English and Italian. The ferry and tour takes about two hours. I learned the difference between stalactites and stalagmites and enjoyed the otherworldly look of the caves 3 main rooms. It’s an easy walk but no photography and no place to stow bags.

S’ABBA FRISCA PARK-MUSEUM A dip into the past to rediscover identity. S’Abba Frisca park-museum takes its name from our freshwater spring. The itinerary has two themes: natural and ethnographic, woven together in one journey. The museum has more than 4,000 items from farming and grazing life in 15 locations. The guided visit winds through plants used in folk medicine, dyeing and construction, among fountains, cascades and giant-stone pathways. Here there are mallard and other ducks, water hen, and tortoises living in water and on land. Among the museum buildings, there is the shepherd’s hut built more than a century ago of basalt blocks and juniper wood, copying the circular form of huts typical of the Nuragic era. Also: the enclosure for goats; the farmer’s courtyard with grindstone turned by a donkey; the blacksmith’s courtyard with bellows from the 1800s. Bedrooms with storage chests from the 1700s; the room for spinning and weaving with antique looms; clothing of times gone by for

Well worth a visit and good value. Marcello was very passionate about his topic and it was great there was a long standing family connection. A well thought through and informative tour of the old Sardinian traditional farming methods. The personal connection made it very real. Tour was conducted in English and Italian although other languages may have been accommodated. A good way to spend 2 hours away from the pool and beach.

Beautiful beach just 10 minutes drive from Cala Gonone. There's a few steps to get to it but nothing too difficult. Bear in mind when parking on the road (there's no carpark) that you park inside the white lines. It's okay to park on the view areas on the side of the road as long as it's inside the white line. There's police around all the time checking and you will get fined for sure.

This is well worth a visit when in Sardinia. We took the recommendation on here of using Mariangela Lovicu (find on facebook) as a guide, and it was well worth it. We were picked up in a jeep and here the adenture started with a great off-road drive to the base of the walk through the amazing vallee of Lanitho. Mariangela provided loads of information about the in area, culture, history, flora and fauna on the way, fascinating. We did a great walk up to Tiscala,it was fantastic to be guided and not worry about the way. Once at Tiscala we were provided with some excellent information about the history, amazing to think of the people living there! We were unluckly apparently to not see a pine martin, but Mariangela tried hard to find one for us, and in the end ask the the ticket person to show us a video of one on his phone - maybe next time. We did a great walk back to the car park, and on the way Mariangelina gave us loads of others tips for the rest of the holiday. You have to do this trip and with Marinangelina when in Sardinia! PS Social distancing was very well respected

First impression of Cala Gonone may not be great, but the aquarium is amazing. The tanks are spotless and the fish seem to be happy. Everywhere you look you find educational information about the sea life and the impact humans have on it by polluting, overfishing, bringing invasive species, destroying the environment. It touched me to see their blind male sea turtle and burnt fox. The turtle has been found choking with plastic on the shore unable to go back to water, swim and feed while seagulls were pecking its eyes. They saved it but the turtle is blind now and they have to feed it through a tube while distracting the other fish in the tank. It is heartbreaking to see it bump into the rocks of the aquarium. But people working there do their best taking care of it and they managed to help it double its weight. The fox is the victim of a fire. First, when I saw it, I thought it was such a strange breed, to learn afterwards that it had a face permanently deformed and no claws due to the fire. It was a baby when it happened and had to be fed and cared for by humans. Due to this and its injuries it will have to spend the rest of its days here. So, I was really impressed by the dedication these people have for taking care of these two animals. They have lots of fish, all so beautiful and in gorgeously arranged environments. Also of a deep emotional effect on all is the fish tank with small sharks and stingrays that come, of their own free will, to be petted by visitors. It is simply amazing to see those fish come from their protected area, swim towards people and float or stick their heads out of the water to be touched and caressed. It makes one think that fish, even the feared and misinterpreted sharks, have a brain and a soul, appreciate affection and interaction, they are not just food.
