beaches by scooter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our journey starts from <strong>Olbia Airport<\/strong>, one of the main gateways to the island. Here you can <strong>rent a scooter in Olbia<\/strong> and begin your tour, discovering not only the beaches but also many other incredible places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to follow some of the most scenic Sardinian roads, you\u2019ll not only reach the most beautiful beaches, but also enjoy truly <strong>breathtaking views<\/strong>. By taking the inland roads instead, you can visit the island\u2019s most iconic landmarks and experience its authentic soul: nuragic villages, archaeological sites, <em>domus de janas<\/em>, giants\u2019 tombs and impressive canyons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, which destinations should you absolutely not miss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"La_Maddalena_Archipelago\"><\/span>La Maddalena Archipelago<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located off the <strong>north-eastern coast<\/strong>, the <strong>La Maddalena Archipelago<\/strong> includes some of the most beautiful and distinctive islands in Sardinia: Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli. It is a protected land and marine area, renowned for its unspoiled nature and crystal-clear, emerald waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_north-eastern_coast\"><\/span>The north-eastern coast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The north-eastern coast is often \u201coverlooked\u201d because it is known as a favourite destination of celebrities from all over the world, which might make it seem less appealing. In reality, beyond luxury yachts and designer boutiques, this stretch of coastline has an <strong>undeniable beauty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its small coves and hidden beaches along the road, it will surprise you with its understated charm. A small tip: avoid peak <strong>high season<\/strong>, or you risk finding crowds everywhere, making it harder to fully enjoy the beauty of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Costa Smeralda coastline\" class=\"wp-image-2197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/costa-smeralda-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_village_of_Tiscali\"><\/span>The village of Tiscali<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget the beaches for a moment and get ready to visit a truly unique <strong>nuragic archaeological site<\/strong>. <strong>Tiscali<\/strong> is the name of the ancient village located between the municipalities of <strong>Oliena<\/strong> and <strong>Dorgali<\/strong>, built along the walls of a sinkhole. The site is not visible until you reach the inside of the cavity, accessed through the rock face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gorropu_Gorge\"><\/span>Gorropu Gorge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just below the Tiscali village lies <strong>Su Gorropu<\/strong>, a natural gorge that perfectly captures the wild, untamed spirit of the island. It is considered the deepest canyon in Europe, with a width that ranges from just a few metres to around 4 metres, and cliffs rising over 500 metres high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reach this incredible place, you\u2019ll need to follow a hiking trail of about three hours. The path is known as <strong>Sedda ar Baccas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cala_Mariolu\"><\/span>Cala Mariolu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding your <strong>scooter<\/strong>, we suggest heading to <strong>Cala Mariolu<\/strong> in the <strong>Gulf of Orosei<\/strong>. What makes it so special? The beach is made up of tiny, white pebbles that enhance the incredible shades of the water. It can easily be reached by sea, but there is also a hiking path that allows access from land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cala_Goloritze\"><\/span>Cala Goloritz\u00e9<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This natural monument is one of the most beloved coves among both locals and visitors. We are still in the Gulf of Orosei and, as with Cala Mariolu, you can get there by sea or via a spectacular trekking route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cala Goloritz\u00e9<\/strong> was formed after a landslide in 1962 and has become famous for its 143-metre-high pinnacle and the natural rock arch that opens on the right side of the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Goloritz\u00e9\" class=\"wp-image-1983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cala-goloritze.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chia\"><\/span>Chia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we had to pick just one place in south-western Sardinia to recommend to someone visiting for the first time, it would be <strong>Chia<\/strong>. Crystal-clear water, a lagoon that hosts pink flamingos, rocky inlets and soft sand dunes: what more could you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, we suggest visiting <strong>Su Giudeu<\/strong> and <strong>Cala Cipolla<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fenicotteri-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pink flamingos in Sardinia\" class=\"wp-image-2198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fenicotteri-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fenicotteri-1-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fenicotteri-1-585x514.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coastal_road_to_Bosa\"><\/span>Coastal road to Bosa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This stretch of road is without doubt one of the most beautiful to ride along on a scooter. The route offers sweeping views over sheer cliffs plunging into the sea, dramatic landscapes and unspoiled nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, we also recommend stopping in the town of <strong>Bosa<\/strong> and in <strong>Alghero<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stintino\"><\/span>Stintino<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the far northern tip of Sardinia, <strong>Stintino<\/strong> is famous for the long, white sands of <strong>La Pelosa<\/strong>, which highlight the turquoise, shallow waters. Stintino grew around a small village built to house 45 families forced to leave the island of <strong>Asinara<\/strong> when it was turned into a quarantine station and later a penal colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symbol of Stintino is the Aragonese tower known as <strong>Torre della Pelosa<\/strong>, built in 1578.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready-to-use_tips\"><\/span>Ready-to-use tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Which scooter should you rent? Just like with <strong>car rental<\/strong>, the best choice depends entirely on your travel needs. There is no one-size-fits-all option. One of the most popular models on Ellepirental is the <strong>125cc rental scooter<\/strong>, but if you\u2019re unsure, you can always contact customer service and get advice from a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a <strong>scooter holiday in Sardinia<\/strong>, one key aspect to keep in mind is luggage. Pay attention to weight and volume: taking too much with you can quickly become uncomfortable. If you\u2019re used to this type of trip, you probably already know how to pack light. If it\u2019s your first time, you\u2019ll need to spend a bit more time choosing what really deserves a place in your \u201csuitcase\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many travellers follow the mantra \u201cI\u2019ll take it, just in case\u201d. That works if you\u2019re travelling by car or staying in one fixed location. But if you\u2019re touring by scooter, the rule should be the opposite: bring only what is truly essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for your trip? Pack your backpack and let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wind in your hair, spontaneous stops along the roadside to soak in the views, the sea breeze on your face\u2026 these are just some of the simple emotions you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discover-sardinia-by-car-rental"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":2255,"it":1174},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.6.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Riding around Sardinia by scooter: the best places to visit<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Planning a scooter tour to explore Sardinia?
