Olbia
Olbia opens at the head of a deep gulf, facing the island of Tavolara, whose limestone silhouette dominates the horizon. Founded by the Greeks and later Romanised, the town keeps the Basilica of San Simplicio, a Romanesque granite church of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The port of Olbia is the gateway to the Costa Smeralda, half an hour’s drive to the north, and to the La Maddalena archipelago. Before boarding, many travellers enjoy the pedestrian centre and its fish restaurants.
