Trip Summary

Olbia (Sardinia)
Often ignored in the mad dash to the Costa Smeralda, Olbia has more to offer than first meets the eye. Stroll the beautiful waterfront and then walk down the Corso Umberto I, the epicenter of shopping and nightlife in town. Then, take some time to view archaeological ruins and artifacts that educate visitors on the lives people led here as far back as the Phoenician and Roman eras. When you`ve finished explored Olbia, you can head outside of town and explore everything from beach towns on the Costa Smeralda to the marine reserve on Isola Tavolara, described once upon a time as `the world`s smallest kingdom`. Recommended Stay: At least 3 nights Must See`s: Nuraghe Riu Mulinu, Basilica di San Simplicio, Chiesa di San Paolo Apostolo, Castello di Pedres, Parco Fausto Noce, Tomba dei Giganti Su Monte S`Abe, Porto Rotondo, Golfo Aranci, Pittulongu, Porto San Paolo, Isola Tavolara, Capo Coda Cavallo, and so much more!

Costa Smeralda (Sardinia)
In the 1960s, the Aga Khan and many of his wealthy friends and acquaintances bought land on the unspoiled Costa Smeralda, located on the northeastern portion of Sardinia. The area, known for its sparkling emerald green and turquoise waters, quickly became a fun-in-the-sun vacation spot for Europe`s upper classes. With Olbia as a main commercial and cultural center, visitors will explore San Teodoro and Budoni to the south. Afterward, they will travel up the coast past Olbia, first to Golfo Aranci, then to the Aga Khan`s personal playground, Porto Cervo, and finally to Palau, where they can hop a ferry to Isola Maddalena, with its iconic pink granite coastline. Recommended Stay: At least 3 nights Must See`s: Olbia, Golfo Aranci, San Teodoro, Budoni, Porto Cervo, Palau, La Maddalena, Baia Sardinia, Capo d`Orso, and so much more!
