The Gulf of Orosei runs along Sardinia's eastern coast between Dorgali in the north and Baunei in the south — approximately 35 kilometres of coastline backed by the Supramonte limestone massif, which drops directly into the sea in vertical and near-vertical cliffs of up to 400 metres.

Sardinia before the season is a different proposition entirely, and April and May are the months that demonstrate what it is before the season turns it into something else.
