All around you, Gallura
Olbia is the gateway to the Costa Smeralda, and from Via Sanzio everything worth seeing stays close: the first beaches a quarter of an hour away, the boat over to Tavolara just over twenty minutes, Porto Cervo and Capriccioli between thirty-five and forty-five, San Teodoro and Cala Brandinchi a little less. Six pages, with real road distances. All the distances given below are real road distances, measured from the front door: on the roads of Gallura, kilometres as the crow flies are of no use at all.
Six destinations, six days out
Olbia
The centre is three minutes away by car: Roman ships in a museum, a granite basilica and a main street that fills up in the evening.

The beaches of Olbia
