Attractions and Places To See around Loiri-Poltu Santu Paolu/Loiri Porto San Paolo - Top 20

This church in Olbia is dedicated to Saint Paul. He was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime, but was converted later by the famous "Damascus Road experience" (see Acts, chapter 9). His attribute, with which he is almost always depicted in paintings or as a statue, is the sword he holds in one hand, with which he was executed for his confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Such a sentence was, according to the law of the time, a "privilege" reserved only for those with Roman citizenship (because it guaranteed a swift death and was not, like other forms of execution, associated with a long and agonizing death struggle). Peter and Paul (Santi Pietro e Paolo) are also known together as the "Princes of the Apostles," and their joint feast day in the liturgical calendar is June 29.

Very beautiful beach, but very crowded in the summer months. Until the end of September, the daily number of visitors is regulated and an entrance fee is charged.

Chiesa Parrocchiale di S.Paolo Apostolo di Olbia Parish Church of St. Paul the Apostle The Church of St. Paul is a Catholic Christian church dating back to the eighteenth century and is located in the historic center of the city. Built at the highest point of Olbia, in that part which, according to some scholars, could have been the area of the Punic and Roman acropolis, considering the finds of a temple construction dating back to the mid-fourth century BC, identified with the sanctuary of Melqart - Hercules. A piece of wall that must have surrounded the temple structure was also found, as well as fragments of archaic Greek ceramics. Inside there are panels in which the translation of the Latin writings on the phases of the life and conversion of St. Paul is given. The church, made entirely of granite, has a sober bell tower to which a polychrome dome has been added, giving it an evocative appearance. Originally it had a rectangular hall with an apse and three side chapels. However, many details of this church were lost during the expansion work.

Hike through beautiful nature. Unfortunately, the GPS often breaks down. The path is still easy to see. But the round trip is much longer than it is recorded. Depending on your pace, it takes 3.5 to 4 hours. The path is very rocky in places and can only be mastered with a few climbing sections. Good shoes and poles are recommended. Avoid it when it's wet! Great view of the coastal landscape, the pools of water also have their charm. The descent to the waterfall is tough. A worthwhile hike! The journey by car to the parking lot is doable, but it is a challenge. Lots of potholes and stones, only a few parts are concrete. There is a shuttle from the base station, but only early in the morning and in the afternoon.

Cala Brandinchi is one of the most famous beaches in Gallura, in north-eastern Sardinia. This corner of San Teodoro will make you feel like you are in Polynesia or the Caribbean; for this reason, it is often called 'little Tahiti'. The beach extends between Punta Sabbatino and Capo Coda Cavallo, a strip of granite land jutting out into the sea, almost in front of the imposing mass of Tavolara, a limestone mountain that emerges from the water and acts as the backdrop to a unique landscape. A long and narrow strip of white sand, fine and compact, plunges into clear, crystalline waters. The seabed is extremely shallow for several metres, creating a pool-like effect, ideal for swimming and children.
