Olbia archaeological site

Museums Take a step back 2300 years to the seaside. Founded by the Greeks around 325 BC, the fortified town of Olbia was once a maritime port of call: cobbled streets, thermal baths and ancient sanctuaries have all been unearthed during archaeological digs. Its fortifications, cobbled streets with sidewalks and sewers, thermal baths and sanctuaries bear witness to over a thousand years of history. Nearby, the remains of the medieval abbey of Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre enhance the visit. Between ancient heritage and coastal landscape, the site offers an immersion in Mediterranean history.

You'll love :
- Visit the only archaeological evidence of a Greek maritime colony in France.
- A journey through the ages, from Antiquity to the nearby medieval abbey.
- The immediate proximity of the underwater trail for a complete summer experience.
