Once you arrive in Sardinia, before heading south, we suggest making a short stop in this area to explore the city and the nearby attractions. Wondering <strong>what to see in Olbia<\/strong> and its surroundings? Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the historic city center;<\/li>\n<li>Pedres Castle;<\/li>\n<li>Su Mont\u2019e S\u2019Abe Giants\u2019 Tomb;<\/li>\n<li>the Punic Walls;<\/li>\n<li>Sa Testa Sacred Well;<\/li>\n<li>Nuraghe Riu Mulinu in Cabu Abbas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After visiting the city and the main attractions of the area, you are ready to head south. <strong>How to get to Villasimius?<\/strong> The best route is to follow the SS131 dcn to Nuoro, then the SS389, continuing on the SS198 to Lanusei. From there, follow the SS390 and the Provincial Road Lanusei-San Paolo to reach the SS125 towards Castiadas, and finally the SP19 to Villasimius.<\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d1564340.3542239387!2d8.041143821499004!3d40.022914118485815!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e6!4m5!1s0x12d94b04024bea79%3A0x7bfe3270a490c808!2sOlbia%2C%2007026%20SS!3m2!1d40.923576399999995!2d9.4964429!4m5!1s0x12e0c25c05a476bd%3A0xdb01df370868e638!2sVillasimius%2C%20SU!3m2!1d39.145776399999995!2d9.5169899!5e0!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1659694189370!5m2!1sit!2sit\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>The journey takes <strong>about three and a half hours<\/strong> and, since it is a rather complex route, using public transport such as buses or trains is not recommended. The trip would take significantly longer, and it would be more difficult to make strategic stops, both to rest and to take advantage of the journey to explore the island\u2019s center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To break up your drive, we suggest taking a tour of the <strong>Ogliastra beaches<\/strong> to marvel at the unique features of this coastline. Just enough time for a quick swim or a short excursion, and then you can <strong>reach Villasimius<\/strong> and explore some of the most beautiful beaches in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_See\"><\/span>What to See?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose Villasimius as your holiday destination, it\u2019s because you want to enjoy a dreamlike sea worthy of any magazine. The <strong>South Sardinia beaches<\/strong> are easily reachable from Olbia Airport, and with your car, you can move around freely to explore them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which beaches and activities are unmissable in Villasimius?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the beaches you must add to your must-see list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Campus Beach<\/li>\n<li>Porto Giunco Beach<\/li>\n<li>Simius Beach<\/li>\n<li>Punta Molentis<\/li>\n<li>Timi Ama Beach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your <strong>Villasimius holiday<\/strong> even more exciting, we suggest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>taking a walk to admire the <strong>Notteri Lagoon<\/strong>, where, if you\u2019re lucky, you can spot beautiful pink flamingos;<\/li>\n<li>enjoying <strong>snorkeling and diving<\/strong> in the Capo Carbonara Promontory area and in the waters of the islands of Cavoli and Serpentara;<\/li>\n<li>visiting the <strong>Archaeological Museum<\/strong> with the <strong>Cuccureddus Sanctuary<\/strong> and the hall dedicated to the artifacts found on Cavoli Island;<\/li>\n<li>taking a trip to see the <strong>Madonna del Naufrago<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to experience Sardinia?
