A Sneak Peek into Olbia
- Olbia, in the Gallura area of Sardinia, although being a little city, is one of the most significant harbours in Italy for a good reason: it is a location rich in history, traditions, and activities.
- The renowned Costa Smeralda can be reached from there.
- It has always been a city humming with life because of its location.
- However, since the establishment of Costa Smeralda in 1962, the city has begun to expand and become a mainstay of Sardinian tourism.
- Since then, all inclusive hotels and holiday resorts have grown and expanded dramatically, contributing significantly to Olbia's economy.
- Spend at least a full day in Olbia if you have a chance to have some spare time while travelling through the area, if the weather isn't ideal for a day at the beach, or if you want to do more than visit a few beaches.
- From museums to the neighbouring nuraghe, from some unusual churches to a Ferris wheel, there are many things to see and do.

Best Months to Visit Olbia
- When the flowers bloom, the sea is warm, and the temperatures haven't yet peaked in July and August; April through June is the most fantastic time to visit Sardinia.
- Nevertheless, Sardinian summers have their advantages. For instance, the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea (east of the island) are very refreshing at this time of year.
- The calendar is filled with a diverse schedule of festivals and activities.
- While the months between November and March are considered low season and have chilly temperatures and fewer visitors, September and October provide travellers with nice weather and fewer crowds.

The Best Places to Visit in Olbia
San Simplicio Cathedral and Necropolis
- This church, the oldest ancient in the north of Sardinia and the best-preserved Romanic church on the island, was allegedly constructed in the XI century.
- St. Simplicius, who suffered martyrdom under the rule of Diocleziano, was the subject of its construction and dedication.
- Although the church's minimalist design is admirable, its subsurface features make it stand out.
- A sizable cemetery with over 450 martyrs' bodies was discovered during excavation and is currently accessible for visits and guided tours.
- While many of the tools and artefacts discovered in the tombs are shown in Olbia's Archeological Museum, some have been kept to show how they were first found.
Olbia Archeological Museum
- This one is one of the few museums in the world to display some ship wreckage.
- The goal of the entire museum is to rebuild the history of one of the significant Mediterranean harbours, from its heyday in antiquity to its decline and rebirth in modern times.
- With the help of brief films, explanations, and a tonne of artefacts, the museum, split into two floors, will take you through Olbia's history.
- The most significant ones are two Roman ships that perished in a battle with the Vandals in 450 AD.
Parco Fausto Noce
- This park was established in 2004 after an abandoned city area was cleaned up and transformed; it is now a tranquil oasis for families and sports enthusiasts.
- The park has four fountains, various sports fields, and 18 hectares of Mediterranean-inspired trees and flora.
- It is a tranquil and secure location for anyone looking to take a pleasant stroll in the centre of nature because it is open from 6:00 am to 9:00 am and is constantly watched over by guards.

Olbia Off the Beaten Track
The nearby islands
- The little Tavolara and Molara islands are a great place to start exploring from Olbia.
- While the first is a private island that can only be visited on guided trips that leave Cala Finanza and are managed by Associazione Molara, the second is easily accessible by public ferry from Porto Taverna (about 20 minutes drive from Olbia).
- Both are fantastic locations for diving, snorkelling, and trekking.
The nearby Gallura
- Olbia is a fantastic starting point for visiting Gallura, one of Sardinia's most gorgeous regions and where the excellent Vermentino grapes used to make the Vermentino di Gallura wine are grown.
- This is similar to how Olbia is a getaway to Costa Smeralda.
- Santa Teresa di Gallura, which is only a one-hour drive away, has beautiful beaches and the picturesque Capo Testa, one of the island's best places to watch the sunset.
- Many fascinating archaeological sites can be found at Arzachena, which is only 30 minutes away by car.

- Additionally, throughout the event weekend, some information booths will be put up, giving you access to all the details you require to enjoy these two days fully.
- First, you'll have observed that Olbia has a lot to offer: the old town, Su Monte de s'Ape's Nuragic tomb, and the castle of Padres will round out your holiday.
- The most acceptable time to visit Olbia's stunning beaches, such as Pittulongu and Porto Istana, is in the spring, when you may use the sea for the first time this year.
