Olbia is one of the gateways to the island and is famous for its port and international airport, but it represents much more than just a landing and transit point.
This city, as we will see, is characterized by breathtaking landscapes, dream beaches, delicious food, and a rich cultural heritage: all reasons why Olbia definitely deserves a visit, at least once in a lifetime. Among the good reasons to start planning a vacation here right away is the ease of getting there, because you just need to book one of the countless Civitavecchia Olbia ferries (or the most convenient route according to your needs), pack only the essentials, and set sail.
Olbia città dell’accoglienza calorosa
Sardinia is an island of a thousand facets, where wild nature and ancient architecture blend perfectly. This combination makes its cities, including Olbia, extremely pleasant and welcoming places.
First of all, as many know, the entire island is the land par excellence of nourishing food and warm hospitality, where the values of hospitality are deeply rooted in the local culture. This is especially true for the city of Olbia, strategically located by the sea and the landing place for thousands of tourists every year.
These large influxes of people from everywhere have made the locals genetically predisposed to hospitality, so much so that the arrival in the city will always be warm and pleasant, at any time of day or night.
There is so much to see, do, and visit
Around here, you never get bored given the wide range of tourist and historical attractions available. One place not to miss is the historic center of Olbia, which is still partially surrounded by Roman-era walls and offers numerous shops, bars, and restaurants where you can savor local dishes.
Among the most popular cultural attractions are also the Archaeological Museum of Olbia and the Sea Museum, which tells the story of the port and navigation in the area. For those who want to relax by the sea, the city offers some of the island’s most beautiful beaches such as Pittulongu, Bados, Mare e Rocce, and Marinella, easily reachable by car or public transport.
Finally, for tourists who prefer untouched greenery, we suggest taking a trip to the San Teodoro Lagoon which, besides offering a spectacular view, represents a precious nature reserve rich in numerous bird species and extraordinary salt pans.
