About Olbia
Sardinian beaches and island excursions define Olbia, a historic northeastern Sardinian port city with ancient roots.
The port area holds Olbia’s Archaeological Museum, while the Basilica di San Simplicio anchors the city center. Near Pittulongu, Nuraghe Riu Mulinu adds a glimpse of Sardinia’s early stone architecture, and boat trips head toward the La Maddalena Archipelago.
Three to seven days gives time for the coast and surrounding countryside, with Olbia City Center serving as the most convenient base. Relaxed evenings suit local flavors such as malloreddus, Pecorino Sardo and mirto.
