Olbia is more than just an airport and a port; it’s the starting point for one of the most beautiful driving routes in the world. Only have 24 hours?
At Cabrio Republic™, we’ve designed a plan that lets you experience the soul of the island without wasting a single minute.
09:00 — Start and Breakfast in Porto Rotondo
Pick up your convertible and head north. Just a 20-minute drive and you’re in Porto Rotondo.
- What to do: Park by the marina, order a fresh croissant (cornetto) and a cappuccino at a café overlooking the yachts. This is the perfect moment to drop the top and tune into the Dolce Vita vibe.
11:00 — The Panoramic Road to Porto Cervo
Drive along the coast through Portisco. This road winds past the emerald bays that gave the entire region its name—Costa Smeralda.
- Why in a convertible: The sun isn’t at its peak yet, there’s a pleasant breeze, and the lack of a roof allows you to see every villa nestled in blooming bougainvillea.
13:00 — Lunch in the Heart of Gallura
Turn slightly inland toward San Pantaleo. It’s a tiny village set among giant granite peaks.
- What to do: Lunch at a local agriturismo. Try the malloreddus pasta and local Vermentino wine (only if you’re not the one driving – Italy has strict rules!).
15:30 — A Refreshing Swim at Spiaggia del Principe
Time to cool off. Prince’s Beach features snow-white sand and sky-blue water.
- Tip: The road to the parking lot is narrow and scenic. In a compact Mazda MX-5, you’ll feel like the king of these roads, easily maneuvering between tour buses.
18:00 — Sunset at Capo Testa (Santa Teresa Gallura)
If you have the energy to drive a bit further north, this place is worth it. Giant wind-sculpted boulders look like a movie set for another planet.
- The Vibe: Watching the sun sink into the sea directly from the seat of your convertible is a moment of absolute bliss.
20:30 — Dinner in Olbia and Return
End your day in the old center of Olbia (Corso Umberto I). The area is buzzing in the evening, and the warm night air is perfect for returning the car with the top down.
Why is this plan perfect?
- Balance: we’ve combined elite ports, wild nature, and gastronomy.
- Logistics: It’s a loop route; you never drive the same road twice.
- Photos: You’ll have at least 10 locations for stunning shots.
