What to do in
Olbia ?
Olbia is just one part of your holiday, or at least a base to start your adventure in northern Sardinia (or Gallura, as it used to be known). This region has so much to offer that it would be a shame to stay in its capital. The party atmosphere of Porto Rotondo, the ultra-chic Porto Cervo, Santa Teresa Gallura just a few kilometres from the cliffs of Bonifacio, and even the Maddalena archipelago offering around sixty islands and islets… plenty of beautiful and atmospheric places to make this a holiday to remember.

Happy holidays
See more See lessSummer is here… Are you ready for a few days’ rest, or a long weekend as a couple or with friends? Do you have one or two weeks’ leave to spend with your family? Then what are you waiting for? Buy a Nice-Olbia ticket and discover paradise in the far north of Sardinia. You’ll quickly fall for its charms, its Mediterranean dolce vita, its party atmosphere, its unspoilt beaches, and the simplicity of its people, which contrasts with the ostentatious luxury of the private jets and massive yachts of a jet set who, since the 1960s, have made this part of the island one of their preferred summer destinations.
Still hesitating? Then here’s a little anecdote that’s bound to convince you… 2700 years ago, deciding to settle on this shore, the Greeks did not have long to choose a name for their city. They simply called it “Olbia”. In the language of Pericles, this name meant “happy”! It has remained with the city through the centuries, well-suited to its lifestyle and the lovely surrounding region.
