Olbia & Northeast Sardinia
Olbia is more than the airport-and-port gateway to northeast Sardinia: its old harbor, Romanesque basilica and archaeological collections open into Gallura's granite landscapes, Nuragic sites, villages and striking marine horizons.
See more than the headline sights.
Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Olbia's harbor story reaches from early settlement through Phoenician, Punic and Roman Sardinia.
SardegnaTurismo describes Olbia as the gateway to Sardinia and a driving force in Gallura, but its visitor story is also archaeological. Finds preserved in the ship-shaped museum on Peddone trace the port and city through prehistoric, Phoenician, Greek, Punic, Roman, medieval and later eras; San Simplicio adds the region's major Romanesque landmark. Beyond the city, Arzachena's Nuragic landscape and Tavolara's steep island profile create very different northeast-Sardinia routes, each requiring a realistic current-access and transport plan.
