By hired car from Olbia Airport to the beach

Kirche San Paolo Apostolo in Olbia, Sardinien

Chiesa di San Paolo Apostolo in Olbia

Would you like to go straight to the dreamlike beach sections with crystal clear water in the north of the island? Then you have made a good choice with Olbia Airport. Nevertheless, you should use the one or other day to go with your hired car to the center of Olbia, for example to visit the archaeological museum or the nearby sea museum. A walk along the Porto Rotondo is also recommended. It is also worth a diversion to the Chiesa di San Paolo Apostolo with its colorful domed ceiling.

Discover Olbia and Sardinia with a hired car

It would be a pity to spend your holiday on only one beach section, because Sardinia with its five provinces has much more to offer. Take advantage of the freedom that a hired car gives you and explore the island along the coastal roads or take the S-shaped E25 motorway to reach Cagliari. You should also visit Alghero in the province of Sassari, located on the west coast, which is one of the most beautiful places in Sardinia with its Chiesa di San Michele.

With the hired car comfortably from the airport to Olbia
