Cala Griecas
Alghero
Cala Griecas is an idyllic beach on Sardinia's northwest coast near Alghero, known for its fine white sand and polished pebbles. However, it is part of a military exclusion zone belonging to the NATO naval base of Poglina and is therefore inaccessible to the public.
Location
Cala Griecas is picturesquely located on the northwest coast of Sardinia, just a stone's throw from the charming city of Alghero. It boasts a fine white sandy beach, interspersed with smoothly polished pebbles, presenting a very inviting scene. Despite its natural beauty and clean water, free of seaweed, this spot is not accessible to visitors. The reason is that Cala Griecas belongs to a military exclusion zone, specifically the NATO naval base of Poglina. This makes it a hidden gem that can be admired but not entered.
