Gulf of Orosei

The Gulf of Orosei faces the Tyrrhenian Sea along Sardinia's eastern coast. Behind its southern shore rises the limestone country of the Supramonte, where high cliffs fall towards the water. Deep valleys cut through the plateau to the sea, breaking the cliffs with coves and river mouths. Caves, gorges and sinkholes reveal the long work of water in the limestone, giving the coast its rugged and dramatic outline.
