Welcome to our Sardinian journey. In this episode, we’ll show you the city of Olbia and the beaches of the east coast. We’ll sail on a cruise along the Gulf of Orosei. We’ll visit the graves of giants and learn the famous Sardinian song. Think of a place from thousands of years ago where history speaks the old language of stones. Think of an island that has been attracting sailors and dreamers for centuries. Think of music that captures the heart. Imagine the inhabitants who live to the rhythm of nature. Imagine a wild, beautiful, and true island. Imagine the people captivated by this place. Listen, we’re sailing away, I don’t know if you know. Experience an adventure in the depths of the earth, on land and at sea. Experience encounters that stay in your heart. Experience a history that endures and a present that delights with warmth. Think about all this. Think about Sardinia and join us on a journey to this extraordinary island. Sardinia. Oh, so many positive emotions, amazing, really, now you have to eat. Part two. Olbia and the east coast. We continue our two-week journey through Sardinia. We are moving on our journey to the east coast. We are starting our exploration of the eastern coast of Sardinia in the city of Olbia, a city with a thousand-year history and a young, vibrant soul. Olbia is called the gateway to Sardinia. This is where one of the largest passenger ports on the island is located, easily accessible from the Apennine Peninsula. Olbia also has one of three international airports , where, when flying from Poland, you can start your adventure in Sardinia. The name Olbia itself, which comes from the Greek word for “happy,” sounds like a promise. Olbia has attracted many cultures and peoples for centuries. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Pisans and Spaniards. Today, Olbia attracts thousands of tourists. A large number of them, however, treat Olbia as a starting point for other destinations. Many people depart from here for the Sardinian Emerald Coast. During the day, the main streets of Olbia are not very crowded. Corso Umberto I is the main street in the city center. A pedestrian street that everyone arriving in Olbia will find along it. There are bars, cafes and some of the most interesting places to visit along Corso. Umberto I is located the main square of the city Piazza Regina Margherita is like a market square another charming slightly smaller square with an impressive fountain is Piazza Giacomo Matteotti turning from the main pedestrian street we reach the charming church of St. Paul the Apostle is particularly noteworthy for the dome of the church tower, covered with majolica, specially glazed multi-colored tiles , a decoration found in many places in Sardinia. The Corso Umberto 1 promenade ends or begins, depending on your travel plan. Ships , from the smallest to the largest, dock here in Olbia’s port . If you arrive in Olbia by car, there is also a large parking lot along the waterfront. A scenic promenade has been created on the waterfront. The Archaeological Museum also houses collections recovered from shipwrecks and Roman mosaics. Unfortunately, it was closed. We have to complain a bit about places to visit in Sardinia. They are often open only a few hours a day, and sometimes closed. For some reason, we had better luck visiting Olbia’s main church. You have to deviate a bit from the main promenade, but it’s only a few minutes’ walk away. Here, on a magnificent square, lies the Basilica of San Simplicio, a church dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Saint Simplicius, built of granite in the Romanesque style. It stands proudly on a hill where an early Christian necropolis once stood. The temple dates back to the 11th century, although significant work was also carried out in the 12th century. The small bell tower on the right is a Spanish souvenir. There is a fee to visit the basilica, although we were glad it was accessible. The interior is a raw stone structure covered with a wooden ceiling. It consists of a main nave and two side naves, separated by columns and pillars. In the center of the apse, there are two damaged frescoes depicting Saint Simplicius and Victor of Fausania. You can go down to the church to see the necropolis. At the end of the day, we decided to move a bit away from the city center. A few kilometers from Olbia, we arrived at Spiaggia Le Saline beach. We basked in the setting sun. Even on such a crowded beach, you can find peace at sunset and spontaneously organize a small picnic for dinner. Silence, sea, nature, some Sardinian delicacies, and that’s how you can end the day. Meanwhile, in the center of Olbia, tourists scattered throughout the region return to the city and enjoy its delights. This is when you can truly feel its vastness. Restaurants are bustling with life along the Corso Umberto promenade. Thousands pass by from everywhere. Smells, shouts, and loud conversations waft through the air. You can hear street musicians, but they have to try hard to dominate the hustle and bustle . Those who enjoy vibrant, fashionable seaside resorts will find themselves perfectly situated here. The Basilica of San Simplicio, located slightly off the beaten track, offers respite from the crowds. You can still find quieter corners in the streets. Carousels for young and old are now must-see attractions in popular tourist towns. Olbia is one of the most important centers of Northern Sardinia, a city full of energy and at the same time rooted in its past, a city that welcomes but also bids farewell and constantly encourages us to return. Olbia is a starting point if we are on the eastern coast of Sardinia. Many people believe that the most beautiful beaches are here. To the north of Olbia stretches the famous and fashionable Emerald Coast , but also to the south of the city you will find beautiful places. To start, we head towards Spiaggia Di Porto Taverna, a beach located near the town of San Teodoro, is actually a narrow strip of sand surrounded by hills covered with Mediterranean vegetation. Fine, light sand, calm sea, shallow depth extending far into the depths , and these shades of blue and turquoise. The beach is about a kilometer long. You can use the small infrastructure here or simply enjoy the views . Everyone’s attention wanders towards this monumental structure. This is the island of Tavolara, one of the symbols of Sardinia. 4 km long, 560 m high, it was called the smallest kingdom in the world. In the 19th century, King Albert of Savoy arrived on the island and found only one inhabitant there, so he appointed him its king. To this day, Tavolara belongs to the king’s descendants. This idyllic, smallest kingdom was destroyed in the 1960s when a NATO base was built there. For this reason, the royal family owns only half of the island . You can take one of the many tourist cruises to Tavolara, but staying on Porto Taverna beach, you can admire the beautiful nature that has retained its charm. Despite the tourist traffic, as you can see, just behind the beach there is a lagoon. You can often see waterfowl, and above all, flamingos, which are the pride of Sardinia. They can be found in several places on the island, in shallow lagoons where they have ideal living conditions. In recent years, a steady increase in the population has been observed. The protection of wetlands is bringing results. The color of flamingos is usually pink, but here, the slightly white-gray indicates the age of the flamingos. They are not initially born pink, and this coloration appears during adolescence due to their diet rich in crustaceans, which cause the pink color. Encouraged by the beautiful views, we set off to We’re about to visit more famous beaches on the east coast of Sardinia. Here we have the beaches of Puntaldia and La Cinta , very popular with families thanks to the ideal conditions for swimming in calm waters, walking, and admiring beautiful views and Sardinian nature. La Cinta beach stretches for over four kilometers. The beach is separated from the mainland by a wide strip of dunes and vegetation, as well as another lagoon. Birds, including flamingos, are also common here. The beach is large enough to accommodate everyone. Despite the high demand, as you can see, you can also find more secluded spots. In search of even more natural beaches, coves, and more secluded places, we’ll show you another charming piece of the eastern mainland of Sardinia. This is for those who prefer a more intimate atmosphere. We are a few kilometers south of the town of San Teodoro and we are in for a short hike along a hiking trail, partly through dense vegetation. I don’t know if we’re going the right way, but it’s getting interesting. No, I think we’re going the right way. However, a few tourists give us signs that we’re going in the right direction. Here is Punta La Greca beach , divided into several small bays, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and a view of Tavolara. You can contemplate this coast even if there are few people. As you can see, the Sardinian coast offers both more and less crowded beach spots. Is it worth visiting only the beautiful beaches when you’re in eastern Sardinia? Of course, we’re not heading inland. The landscape changes from the popular tourist resorts to a quieter side where nature reigns supreme, and small villages occasionally appear amidst this landscape. Our destination is the town of Bitti , located in the Barbagia region. It’s peaceful, with small houses and townhouses warmed by the southern sun . It’s a welcome respite from the crowds. We soak up the atmosphere. The town has fewer than 3,000 inhabitants. Wandering the narrow streets, you could literally get lost. I feel like we’re getting a little lost in these alleys. Sometimes it’s an exaggeration to say you should get lost in the streets, but you really can get lost here. Bitti is a member of the Club of Italy’s Most Authentic Villages. But it’s charming here, isn’t it? Empty, peaceful, and you almost have to say, “Quietly .” Why are we here? In addition to this unique atmosphere, a famous folk song museum has been created here, combined with the Museum of Agriculture and Shepherding. Getting to this museum is a challenge. Don’t count on Google Maps, the arrow flies in every direction, traversing the narrow streets, trying to find it, which isn’t so easy. Oh, I think I’m going, okay, we’ll have to go back to pick up Radek. Okay, we reach the destination of our walk and unfortunately, we encounter a closed door. We had already commented that, as often in Sardinia, popular places are simply closed and there’s no point in looking for a reason. But suddenly, a signora appears, smiling, coming out of one of the tenement houses, inviting us in and constantly speaking in Italian. After a while, we stop trying to convince ourselves that we don’t necessarily communicate well in this language. We somehow manage to buy tickets, and the lady shows us around with undisguised enthusiasm and pride. The local museum presents the famous cantu a tenore, a style of polyphonic Sardinian folk singing. UNESCO has recognized cantu a tenore as intangible cultural heritage. The word tenore should not be confused with the voice of the tenor. The presentation is created on four large screens that correspond to Four singers, standing opposite each other, form a vocal circle. Each singer is responsible for one of the four voices: boghe, bassu, contra, and mesa boghe. Without delving into professional musical descriptions, and speaking of feelings, according to folk tradition, mesa boghe imitates the sound of the wind, contra the bleating of sheep, and bassu the mooing of a cow. Using a stand in the middle of the circle, we select specific regions and groups, and then the singers appear on the screens. Of course, the singing is a combination of four voices , but each screen can be turned on or off to listen in detail to only the selected song. They describe moments of everyday life in the agricultural, livestock, and craft worlds , but they also include love, religious, and satirical songs. Cantu a tenore singing may initially seem very strange to us because it is something completely new. After a while, we begin to perceive the singers’ emotions. This is a unique, still living heritage of Sardinia. Many groups operate throughout the island. Cantu a tenore. Right next door, in the same building, there is also a Museum of Agriculture and Pastoralism, seemingly modest, but extremely rich in content this is where you can see what the everyday life of the island’s ancient inhabitants was like before Sardinia became a tourist paradise the presentations were created in a house with typical architecture of the region with thick walls, wooden beams and cool interiors that provided shelter from the heat The former farm premises have been recreated: a kitchen with a fireplace, a bedroom, a pantry, and a workshop. You can see the process of baking Sardinian pane carasau bread , the production of cheese, and dried meats. Everything was done to supply the shepherds with food that remained ready for consumption for a long time. Here, you can see wool processing tools, horse harnesses, and bells that still resonate on the island. The museum tells a story about identity, about roots, and about the work that has shaped the inhabitants of Sardinia for generations. Visitors are impressed . Both local museums are delightful . Although we expected only one about Sardinian singing , it turns out that you can visit two museums here, and we were delighted with them. Now we will be delighted when we manage to get to the car. The museum was truly multimedia. We were impressed; there was such an atmosphere; this small town has already created this atmosphere . And then there was the hospitality of the lady —oh, the lady was the best in everything and welcomed us as if she were a guest in her home. 5 minutes with this lady. and you can speak Italian, at least that’s what you think. The lady said she wouldn’t say a word to us in English, but if she spoke Italian slowly, we’d understand everything. It turned out we did. She was amazing, she gave us the atmosphere, there were emotions. Here in Bitti, you can feel the real Sardinia, an island of tradition, work, and song . It’s a reminder that Sardinia is not only beaches and the sea – but also mountains, pastures, eternal cycles of nature. We set off on a further journey. We contemplate the still idyllic views of eastern-central Sardinia. Peaceful, soothing to the eyes. Vast green landscapes. On the way, we pass more nuraghes reminding us of the ancient history of Sardinia. We told you more about them in the other parts of our series about Sardinia. We are heading to a place that is another testimony to the history of Sardinia. In the Nuoro region stands one of the best-preserved monuments of prehistoric Sardinia. The parking lot is located some distance from the destination. We reach the right place on foot along the trail until we finally see the Tomba Di Giganti, or the tomb of the giants, as the Sardinians called such places . the most famous of them S’Ena ‘e Thomes, the place was founded around 1800 to 1600 BC. At the beginning, everyone sees a nearly 4-meter-high stele, a kind of funerary monument carved from a single block of granite, weighing 7 tons. The small opening at the bottom is a symbolic entrance to the afterlife , but in fact, it leads to the actual chamber measuring 11 meters. Where does the name Tombs of the Giants come from? Because according to legend, these places were used by enormous beings. Due to the size of the place, they were actually a mass burial site. Was it a mass grave for the entire village or reserved for just one class? Many questions remain unanswered. Monstrous granite blocks have been here for millennia. Many consider this place to have a unique impact. These are, of course, subjective impressions, but it is worth entering the giants’ tomb and feeling the emanation of ancient energy for yourself. It’s time for another day of adventures in Sardinia. In the morning, we arrive in the town of Cala Gonone , a former fishing village. From the port, wood, coal, and cheese were once shipped to the Apennine Peninsula. Today, it is a popular tourist destination. It is a charming town in itself, and you can spend some time here enjoying the wonderful views. The place combines seaside pleasures with trekking routes and mountain trails leading to the highest mountains in Sardinia. Gennargentu ahead of us, maritime attractions. We arrive at the port of Cala Gonone. There is a lot of traffic from the early morning hours. The skippers are preparing the boats, and tourists are gathering at the port. In the designated places , we meet with a Pole, Tomek Lebiedzik, who decided to connect his life with Sardinia. We had already found his company, Adventure Madness, and arranged the formalities. Tomek Lebiedzik is a well-known tour operator in Sardinia. He loves expeditions, adrenaline, and greets all passengers with the openness of a good friend. It’s already clear, this is the beginning of an exciting trip. We meet the other members of our team with a broad smile. Tomek Lebiedzik talks about the route, attractions, the trip plan , and, of course, safety regulations. Tomek’s directness encourages everyone, and a small group provides the comfort of a private cruise. Infected with the good mood of our captain, we set off , ready for adventure. The boat picks up speed, and waves splash along the sides. The Gulf of Orosei opens up before us. Narrow beaches, caves, and coves seem inaccessible . Some are, in fact. From the deck of the boat, we can see steep cliffs, some reaching up to four hundred meters, and at their feet, the water shimmers in shades of turquoise and emerald. We pass the first caves, dark openings in the rocks, from which shade and coolness leak out. We approach some of them. This is the entrance to the Grotta del Bue Marino. It may look inconspicuous at first, but it is the longest cave in Sardinia, almost 20 km long . less than a kilometer away you can go on a separate cruise to get inside the grotto takes its name from the Mediterranean monk seal species that lived here until the middle of the last century we also sail to smaller formations but how charming it is the Grotto of the Virgin Mary where does the name come from? Because inside you can spot a tiny altar. Tomek Lebiedzik tells us interestingly about each of these places. Every now and then, between the caves and grottoes, a narrow strip of white sand reveals itself before us. Small beaches clinging to the rocks. This is Cala dei Gabbiani. Time for a beach holiday. Our captain always comes over, swims as close to the beach as possible and gives us time to relax. Time for blissful relaxation. If anyone asks what our admiral is doing while we’re sunbathing, he eats a regenerating meal to gain the strength to continue steering the boat and answering our sometimes stupid questions. Astute tourists keep a close eye on the local slopes. We find a warning on this beach that these rocks can still break off and fall . You can see here that the area along these cliffs right next to the rock has been fenced off . Unfortunately, although the beach is very wide , you can literally relax on a narrow strip of white sand, which is about 3-4 meters wide . The staff here are very careful not to cross it. While sitting here, you can hear falling rocks every now and then. pebbles, so it’s better not to cross them. The others decided to explore the underwater world. It’s time for the next stages of the cruise. We continue our journey. The small boat provides a lot of fun , and as you can see, our captain loves adrenaline and believes that we do too. Of course, we do. In front of us appears the icon of the entire Cala Goloritzé bay. We watch it from the water. Access to the beach is additionally charged , and the daily limit of visitors is 250 people. The beach is distinguished by a 140-meter-high limestone rock rising from the sea. This is Aguglia, if you ask me… yes, you can climb it. Tomek Lebiedzik shows us another, more interesting place. A very tiring day, very tiring. Small caves, just right for swimming. We can’t miss it. At first, it seems that only the first part of the caves is accessible, but the sea waves reveal other parts, you can move into them during the falling wave. In the middle of the experience, the air pressure when the cave closes blocks your ears , and we are happy with the highest level of endorphins. This is not an attraction for everyone, but those who are The courage makes for an unforgettable experience. A bit terrifying, but amazing. Time for another few moments spent on the boat, as if to calm down. But on this cruise, you’ll forget what boredom is. The next item on the program awaits. Well, they kicked us off the ship , captain! Oh, right! Now we’re sure the dive itself won’t be the only thing that will take us away , but this time in a completely dark cave. For the brave and good swimmers, Tomek takes a flashlight to point out the spots and the highlight. There’s the opportunity to dive and swim through a tunnel under a large boulder. The flashlight shows us the way. The adrenaline is racing with all these emotions. As you can see, even our equipment has given up and we only have photos from this feat. We’ve just left the cave. Listen, leave all these crowded beaches full of tourists. Just choose a trip that will allow you to enter one of these caves. This is quite an adventure. We recommend it. After leaving, the emotions are still buzzing. Tomek is in a great mood . And places like these make each of us feel like an explorer for a moment. Time for another rest on the boat. We continue to admire this landscape. The bay is not just about views. Look at these rocks. It’s history recorded in nature, layer by layer, like in a geological chronicle of time. Time to visit another beach. We get off at Cala Mariolu , a place where tiny white pebbles sparkle like pearls in the sun, but here you can also clearly see how much Despite their inaccessibility, the beaches here can be crowded. Now you can understand why smaller, intimate cruises on these large ships are such a great advantage. You can feel like a sardine in Sardinia, but relaxed tourists can’t resist a dip in the wonderful water. It’s wonderful here in the season, which lasts even into September. It’s hard to find a free stretch of beach, but it’s also hard to find a stretch of water free from departing tourists . As you can see, there are quite a few ships here. Everyone simply sailed to this beach . We also greet the entire group we sailed with, and also Tomek, our captain, or admiral, or whatever you want to call him. A pleasant surprise during this cruise was that among the passengers were viewers of our channel. It’s unique to spend time on the expedition together with those who watch the Łukasz and Radek channel. Discovering the local beach gems is never boring. Finally, we left a showcase of the Gulf of Orosei and all of Sardinia. Let’s add that the order in which we visit the local caves and beaches can be different each time. Here, before our eyes, we see something that is difficult to describe in words, so first two words: Cala Luna, a beach with light, delicate sand squeezed between steep rocks, with a row of individual caves that look like a cathedral carved by the sea. You can enter each of the caves and feel their incredible power. A practical tip is that as you travel along the beaches from the boat mooring point, each subsequent cave will have fewer and fewer tourists, but each one is increasingly difficult to access, and there are countless tourists here. The place remains always magical . The name suggests that it is a lunar bay, but it is definitely not as beautiful on the moon. As the boat heads towards the port, the sun slowly sets, we’re all tired but happy. It was a day full of excitement, water, sun, and adventure. It will remain one of those days you’ll reminisce about long after returning from Sardinia. And so we conclude another installment of our Sardinian adventures. This time, we explored the coastal town of Olbia. Get off the main road… it’s after a whole day in the sun. Give it another chance. The famous beaches of the east coast are nothing like a little sand on our Baltic Sea. And they say you need some fine sand here. Radek, Radek, come here, because this is the role for you. A bit terrified, we entered the tomb of the giants, but we were eager to try the famous Sardinian cantu a tenore. We bid you farewell from the unique Cala Luna beach and invite you to the remaining installments of our Sardinian trip. We promise no less excitement and more fascinating places in Sardinia. Don’t worry, because the pedicure is included. See you
