What travelers are saying
- fluffymonkeyWorcester, UK3,285 contributionsThere is no denying that Porto Istana beach is stunningly beautiful, caressed by warm turquoise water and views out across to Tavolara island.
The only issue will be (in August anyway) the amount of real estate (beach towel space!) you desire, it was limited when we turned up mid afternoon.
Snorkeling was fun but there was not a lot to see, fish limited to Saddled Seabream (black spot on tail).
On the plus side there is plenty of free street parking and a couple of designated car parks.Written September 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sea is turquoise and so clear you can see the sea bream swimming around you. Take some drinks/food with you because there's only a small beach cafe.Written October 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Reeferman64Solihull, UK1,000 contributionsThe area is lovely but not a great deal to do unless you are a boat lover, the area is expensive due to the clientele it attracts.
Some nice views and the beaches are nice, and there is plenty to see if you have a car and you dont mind driving. The supermarkets if you are self catering are reasonable especially for the local beers and wines, there is a nice deli counter in them too, that is also selling some pre cooked food. To eat and drink out is expensive everywhere in Sardinia, you will get little change out of £60 for a couple of mains and a glass of wine/beer each, unless you can live on Pizza.Written October 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- R. K. V.Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam2,590 contributionsStunningly beautiful area- the beach areas, sea colors and general atmosphere is fantastic.

- MarcusHurleyCalne, UK9,564 contributionsThis is an eleventh century church and was, for a Catholic church, extremely low key. Built of granite and with almost no interior decoration or side rooms it was quite a shock. Normally we spend quite a while in these buildings and take loads of photos but I actually took more in the cafe we went to, just across the piazza. There is an underground car park below the Piazza and we were intending to visit the necropolis there too but it was closed.Written June 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael ENorthampton, UK23 contributionsNice harbour and two lovely sandy beaches. Not many shops to browse in, but consequently not over-commercialised. Some nice bars, but it was difficult to find one which served food early evening (apart from the excellent Coccodrillus). This may have been because it was the last week of the season as we were told that the village effectively closes down in October. Some run-down and disused buildings, sad to see a beach bar all boarded up. No sign of any easily accessible public loo's! Roads are closed off to traffic at 8pm, which was good. We were happy as this was the sort of holiday we were looking for, but it may not suit if you like a lively night-life.Written October 2, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gabriella S2 contributionsA beautiful family-run vineyard that is definitely worth a visit. We booked the Olbia experience and didn’t realise this didn’t include a vineyard tour, but it was no problem to add this on as an extra and the team were very helpful when booking.
The tour itself was very interesting, and we then tasted three amazing wines afterwards with some delicious local Sardinian foods. A stunning location and amazing value for money!Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The remains of an ancient boot were very impressive.
Lots of information and good artifacts.
The rooftop terrace gives a good view of the surroundings.Written July 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Bit tricky to find as the entrance is off the roundabout in between the “barriers” so go steady.
Went down to the beach and rented two loungers - €40 for the day - which included beach towels, Wi-fi, parking and showers if needed.
Two teenage boys had burgers on the beach from snack bar area of restaurant and we ate in the restaurant. Boys burgers were c.€18 and our meal with bottle of wine and 2 x sides was c.€80 (wine was €25 for a bottle). Views over the bay and just relaxing.
Get there early as it does get busy after 1pm ish. When we arrived there were only a few boats but by 2pm the bay was full with tenders going back and forth:
The boys rented a canoe - €15/hr - and enjoyed that.
The team on the beach was excellent all led by Shelia who was much fun and made the day enjoyable.
Thanks guys.
