Best time to visit Olbia

Olbia enjoys a Mediterranean climate that creates very mild winters, warm springs and autumns; and hot, sunny summers. Exploring sights that include the 11th century Basilica of San Simplicio, the medieval Church of St. Paul Apostle and the National Archaeology Museum – perfect all-year-round activities. The months of September and October are low season in Olbia and the best time to enjoy cheaper flight tickets, accommodation and more affordable food and drink. The gorgeous coastline will be less crowded during these months so sunbathing on the Porto Istana beach or taking a boat trip along the Costa Corallina coast will be a pleasant experience.
