While Olbia as a city if often overlooked in favor of other more popular tourist destinations such as the nearby Costa Smeralda and San Teodoro, it’s vicinity to a well served international airport and the harbor make it a great place to base yourself to explore Northeastern Sardinia.
The city itself has more to offer than meets the eye. There are interesting museums, nearby archeological sites, excellent restaurants and a short drive will take you to some of the best beaches in Northern Sardinia, whereas a quick boat ride will take you to unique islands such as Tavolara and Molara.
