Day 1: Arrival in Olbia - First Immersion
Landing in Olbia
Your Sardinian adventure begins at Olbia Costa Smeralda airport, a privileged gateway to the north of the island. This dynamic port city welcomes you with its Mediterranean charm and authentic atmosphere.
Getting to know your vehicle
Pick up your rental car directly from the airport. It will be your faithful companion as you explore the panoramic roads and reach the island's most remote coves in total freedom.
Take advantage of your first evening to stroll through Olbia's historic center. Discover the Basilica of San Simplicio, a jewel of Sardinian Romanesque art, and enjoy your first aperitivo facing the harbor, admiring the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Day 2: Castelsardo & Costa Paradiso
Medieval village of Castelsardo
Perched on a rocky promontory, Castelsardo's cobbled streets and colorful houses seem to defy the centuries. The Doria castle offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Gulf of Asinara.
Costa Paradiso's wild coves
The afternoon takes you to Costa Paradiso, a string of heavenly coves with translucent waters. These natural gems, nestled between pink granite rocks, offer moments of pure serenity far from the crowds.
This day is a perfect illustration of Sardinia's duality: thousand-year-old history rubs shoulders with unspoilt nature, creating a unique harmony that characterizes this extraordinary island.

La Cinta Beach
One of Sardinia's most beautiful beaches stretches over 15 kilometers of fine white sand.
Lu Impostu Beach
A more intimate 500-metre cove, perfect for a quiet day out
San Teodoro offers a choice of two seaside gems. La Cinta, nicknamed "the Seychelles of Sardinia", rolls out its ribbon of immaculate sand bordered by shallow turquoise waters, ideal for swimming. Lu Impostu, more confidential, seduces with its unspoilt setting between Mediterranean scrub and crystal-clear sea.
Take advantage of the day to try your hand at water sports: kayaking, paddleboarding or kitesurfing, depending on your preference. San Teodoro's exceptional conditions make it an ideal playground for all levels.
