Olbia Health And Safety

Visitors who choose to hire a car during their stay in Olbia should be aware of the different road rules and driving etiquette, particularly when driving along the narrow, winding roads in the hills. You may also encounter poor road conditions, with potholes and open grids.

Safety

Always be watchful of pickpockets, especially in the high season and keep bags and valuables in sight at all times. If you choose to rent a car during your stay, make sure you keep all valuables out of sight when leaving your car, so as not to tempt thieves. Driving and water sports are potentially risky activities and visitors in an unfamiliar environment are more prone to having an accident.

Health

While there are no major health risks to travellers visiting Olbia, visitors should pay attention to the danger of sunburn. With the cool breezes coming in from the Mediterranean, it is easy to underestimate the power of the sun, making wearing an appropriate sunfactor essential. The tap water is safe to drink here, although many visitors choose to drink bottled water.

Travel insurance

No matter how many safety measures you take to prevent accident, theft or loss during your stay in Olbia, these unwanted intrusions into holidays are sometimes inescapable, making travelling with an all-inclusive travel insurance policy an indispensable requirement to any journey. Travel insurance is an easy way of making sure you arent left high and dry.
Visitors who are citizens of the EU can get free medical treatment in Olbia, while all other visitors should make certain they have all-inclusive health insurance to cover the costs of any medical treatment during their stay.
