Holidays to Olbia

Olbia sits on Sardinia’s north-east coast – it’s famous for hosting some of the island’s best beaches. The city is a great place to pick if you’re planning on making tracks around Sardinia – a busy marina boasts boat trips up and down the coast, you’ve got a well-connected train station on hand for travelling around, too. That’s not to say there’s nothing to see and do here though – start your sightseeing with a trip to the old town where age-old buildings make way for stylish boutiques and cosy bars. You’ll want to keep your camera ready for your trip to the city’s surrounding beaches, too – highly rated Porto Istana is just a 20-minute drive from the city.

Beaches

A symphony of piercing turquoise and deep jade, the crystalline waters surrounding Sardinia are so clear you can see the seabed. The rugged coastline lends these fine beaches a backdrop of thick green woodlands and sweeping mountains. In the north of the island, the Costa Smeralda boasts some of Sardinia's loveliest soft, sandy beaches. First conceived for the international jet set, this breathtaking stretch of coastline is now a flourishing area renowned for its yacht club and marina. For those looking for beautiful, unpopulated white sandy beaches and some of the clearest seas in Europe, La Maddalena is the place to head for. This national park, situated in the Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia, is very popular with day trippers from the main island due to its beautiful unspoilt coastline.
