What September feels like

September is the locals' favourite, and ours. The crowds thin within a fortnight, the sea stays warm well into October, and the light turns soft and amber. Vendemmia, the grape harvest, animates the wine country, restaurants have time to talk again, and you can hike in the morning and swim in the afternoon. If you can travel in September, travel in September. In Ogliastra it means the Gulf of Orosei's boat-only coves on one side and the Supramonte's big walking country on the other.

What to do in Ogliastra in September

The Gulf of Orosei by boat

Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu and the coves in between are only reachable by sea or on foot, and summer's calm water is when to go.

Beach days

Warm sea, long days and dependable sunshine: this is prime beach weather. Go early or late in the day for the softest light and the emptiest sand.

Get out on the water

Flat, warm mornings are made for boat trips, kayaking and snorkelling; the breeze that builds in the afternoon suits sailors and windsurfers.

Island hopping

Calm summer seas make the small islands off the coast an easy day out, from ferry rides to skippered charters.

Evenings in town

When the beaches empty, the piazzas fill. Aim for a slow dinner outdoors and a passeggiata through the old lanes.
