Olbia, Italy Cruises

Olbia, Italy Cruise Port

Olbia, Italy is one of the largest cruise ports near the Mediterranean’s Emerald Coast, and also one of the most convenient launching points for an impressive number of shore excursions. That’s not to say that the city of Olbia doesn’t hold any Mediterranean gems of its own – quite the contrary, in fact. For starters, you have museums, fine restaurants and plenty of stunning architecture to explore on foot. Just north of Olbia you’ll find scenic coastline, beautiful beaches and ritzy communities popular with Italian celebrities. The entire island of Sardinia, upon which Olbia is located, offers a view of Italy that differs greatly from the busy downtowns of Rome, Milan, Naples and Palermo. Trade towering cathedrals for sandy sanctuaries, and crowded streets for coastal trails. Featured below are just a few of the ways you can spend your time in and around the cruise port of Olbia, Italy:

• Ride the ferry over to the Maddalena Archipelago, now a protected national park full of diverse wildlife. Take in the emerald pools, towering granite cliffs and green vegetation with a motorcoach or boat tour.
