Marina di Olbia opened in 2009 and although the pontoons are all in place it is still lacking infrastructure. The shops, bars and restaurants lining the marina have still to be built. It is a ten minute walk to a large shopping centre which includes a large grocery store for all your daily needs. A further five minutes and you will find Roxy’s, a local bar and good value pizza joint. For a wider selection of restaurants and ships chandlers you will need to take the marina courtesy bus into Olbia town a few minutes’ drive away. A half an hour walk will get you to the Costa Smeralda airport offering flights throughout the winter months. There are stunning anchorages closeby in the Tavolara national park. Lots of sandy bays and beautiful turquoise waters. Surprisingly, with all the area has to offer, there are only a few other cruisers here which has made for a very different winter experience. We plan to make use of the planes and ferries on our doorstep and to visit Milan, Venice and Rome. Car hire is relatively cheap and we are looking forward to discovering many of the delights Sardinia has to offer.
