Budoni

Budoni and the main road that leads through Budoni (you can not miss it when you follow the signs from the airport in Olbia) were built after World War II. Therefore you won't find a historic town center so far. But a very busy main street with everything you would expect from a typical resort with extensive beaches all around: Restaurants, bars, cafes, shops with beach equipment and other shops. Also supermarkets and a petrol station are available. If you follow the street signs to Baia di Budoni (Bay of Budoni), you'll end up on the beach with a small salt lake upstream, where you can sometimes also find Flamingos. Some people claim, that pink-feathered animals exist only in the stagno of San Teodoro north of Budoni. But these specimens prove that this is not exactly true.

The sandy beach of Budoni is extensive - it expands over two kilometers / 1.2 miles and it lies behind a small strip of pine trees. There are also restaurants, so that you are well taken care of. Beach holiday or family holiday - in Budoni both are possible. There is also a dog beach in Budoni.

Porto Ottiolu is a community that belongs to Budoni and is beautifully situated along a hill.

The harbor of Porto Ottiolu is absolutely beautiful and during the season the moorings at the pier are fully booked.
