Olbia and the surrounding area
Olbia, rich in history and culture
Facing out across the gulf to which it gives its name, Olbia’s coastline stretches for around 100km and plays host to wonderful beaches and breathtaking reefs, while the surrounding area encompasses a plethora of archaeological sites, including the Riu Mulinu nuraghe (Cabu Abbas), the so-called Tomb of the Giants of Su Monte de S'Abe and the Sacred Nuragic well of Sa Testa.
Within the city, a favourite haunt of all and sundry is the Parco Fausto Noce – 16 hectares of landscaped greenery with a cycle route running through them and the beautiful San Simplicio "Basilica", Church of the XII century.
The area’s most renowned beaches include Pittulongu, Bados, Lo Squalo, Le Saline, Porto Istana and Marinella. Just a few kilometres away, you will find various tourist hotspots, such as Porto San Paolo (15km), San Teodoro (35km), Porto Rotondo (17km) and the celebrated Porto Cervo (30km).
On request, we can organise excursions by boat or jeep for you, to allow you to experience the magic of Sardinia all the more fully.
