Things To Do
Discover Secrets...

Step back into the rich history of Olbia by visiting the Museo Archeologico. This stunningly modern museum on the harbour was designed by architect Vanni Macciocco. From Roman amulets and ceramics to Nuragic relics, the museum's collection tells the narrative of the region's past through objects. Make sure you click a snap of the main attraction, the ancient Roman ship's artefact that was unearthed in the harbour!

Indulge In Wine Paradise!

Spend time at the 60-hectare estate of Tenute Olbios and experience the full cycle of winemaking with a guided tour. The tour concludes with a tasting of three wines in a room with an oak ceiling and granite walls. Cheese, salami and antipasti are some of the local delicacies that you can sample while feeling Italian bliss. We recommend visiting during the spring when wildflowers carpet the Gallura countryside, making it a beautiful area to spend the day!

Beach Please?

Head to Porto Pollo Beach! A must-visit for those who love water sports, Sardinia's windiest spot is a popular destination because of the ridge that separates the two ends of the beach, with the calmer end catering to novices and the more advanced section providing stronger waves. You can sign up for surfing lessons or lay out in the sun!

Discover Fashion Gems

Indulge in some retail therapy! An hour's drive north of Budoni, make your way to Corso Umberto, the city's primary retail district. There are aesthetic boutiques, big-brand stores, and cafes lining the street. Keep your eyes out for pop-up markets, since they often have high-quality goods at reasonable prices that are perfect for taking home.

Step Into The Mystical World...

Get ready to step into the ancient world of Sardinia and discover the fascinating Nuraghi. These remarkable stone structures, scattered across the island, stand as silent witnesses to a distant past. Marvel at their mysterious beauty and intricate construction, as they showcase the impressive engineering skills of the Nuragic civilization. Whether you explore the iconic Nuraghe Su Nuraxi or venture off the beaten path to uncover lesser-known sites, the Nuraghi transport you back in time, igniting your imagination!
