The town
Province of Nuoro (Italian: Provincia di Nuoro; Sardinian: Provìntzia de Nùgoro) is the eastern province of Sardinia.
Tourism in the province is predominantly a summer activity. Along the coast there are many tourist resorts, including La Caletta di Siniscola, the marina of Orosei, Cala Gonone, Santa Maria Navarrese, Arbatax, the lido of Orrì, the marina of Cea in Tortolì, and Capo Comino. The gulf of Orosei in general offers wonderful beaches that alternate with rocky cliffs. The coastal areas also offer the possibility of visiting the numerous ponds such as that of Orosei, where fishing is possible.

What to see, according to Wikivoyage
The ancient village of Tiscali in Ogliastra was built probably during the Roman invasion. It is very well preserved and shows how people used to live 2000 years ago, without any later intervention.
Archaeological sites and ancient monuments: The province of Nuoro is very rich in ancient monuments. From nuraghes, to menhirs, to domus de Janas (literally fairy houses), giants' tombs, to real Nuragic villages. We find ancient testimonies in the so-called "valley of the nuraghi" (ancient megalithic edifices), an area between the municipalities of the Nuoro area and Marghine.
In the capital there are numerous nuragic buildings and also real and proper villages annexed to them (Nurdole, Ugolio, Tanca Manna etc.), in the countryside between Nuoro and Mamoiada there is the nuraghe su Saiu, the nuraghe sa Tanca e s'Ena and the Nuraghe Gabutele. In Oranithere is the nuragic complex of Nurdole, while in Orune we find the sacred spring Su Tempiesu, in the countryside of Bitti there is the nuragic complex of Su Romanzesu, in Dorgali we have the complex of Serra Orrios and in the territory of Oliena Tiscali, Carros and the village of Sovana.
