Olbia: unforgettable the white beaches and the glorious treasures of its history The gateway to the Costa Smeralda is one of the main cities in Sardinia. It boasts, together with the towns of Porto Rotondo and Portisco, one of the most famous marinas in northern Sardinia. Rich in medieval frescoes, in Romanesque style, built of local granite blocks, the Basilica Minor is one of the most important monuments in the city.

If we talk about treasures, Olbia is characterized, not only for naturalistic ones, such as the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo, managed by a consortium formed by municipalities of Olbia, Loiri Porto San Paolo and San Teodoro, but also for architectural ones. Do not miss the Roman aqueduct, the Nuragic Sacred Well of “Sa Testa” and the Tombs of the Giants of 'Su Monte de s'Ape' in the vicinity of the city. The resort has numerous beaches, all of them of very white sand and sea of a crystalline blue.

Northeast of Olbia is the Gulf of Marinella with one of the most beautiful, extensive and equipped beaches of the whole Sardinia. Now some interesting facts: for lovers of the Rally there is to say that since 2004 Olbia has been hosting the Rally D'Italia-Sardignia. Around the city there is also the Raly City of Olbia. As a university center, the city of Olbia is home to the Degree Course in Economics and Tourism Business of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Sassari.
