Olbia and the surroundings

• Olbia
  
  
  
• Golfo Aranci
  The town's original name was actually "Golfo dei Granchi" (crabs), which was erroneously transformed from 'granchi' into 'aranci' (oranges). The misinterpretation is evident since, as visitors will notice, there is a total absence of orange trees throughout the whole area. Golfo Aranci is very popular in the summer months and offers visitors spectacular panoramas, including the enchanting vision of the island of Figarolo, a marvellous natural oasis. Visitors should not miss the Nuragic Sacred Well of Milis, and, towards Olbia, the Well-Temple of Sa Testa.
  
  
  
• Porto Rotondo
  This exclusive tourist resort nestles in an extraordinary natural environment. Its exceptional beauty has attracted the attention of numerous investors over the years, who have transformed Porto Rotondo into one of the most desirable and chic destinations in the world. Visitors can take a stroll round the picturesque port where they can admire the luxury yachts which are usually anchored there. The whole area is renowned for its unique, crystalline sea, however, Porto Rotondo's most famous beach is unquestionably the beach of Ira, where the transparent, Mediterranean water is truly emerald. Not far from the town lie the beaches of Punta Asfodelo, whilst the beaches of Sassi and 'la spiaggia delle Alghe' lie towards Punta Volpe. Golfo di Marinella lies about 4 km. from Porto Rotondo, with the beautiful Golfo di Marinella beach, from where visitors are rewarded with a magnificent view of the islands of Soffi and Mortorio.
