Exploring Olbia
Simplest approach
Make the archaeological museum the main visit if open, then explore central Olbia streets and choose a meal stop. A beach or inland archaeological excursion should replace part of this plan and needs return transport.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Confirm accessible shuttle boarding and museum facilities. An outlying beach may have sand and a different vehicle access arrangement.
Weather
Plan shade and indoor breaks in heat. Rain can make historic paving or archaeological paths slippery; shorten exposed outdoor stops around the forecast.
