HOW TO REACH THE BDRI'S FIELD STATION

The BDRI research field station is sited in the same road than the Post-Office in the centre of Golfo Aranci (Via Armando Diaz 4) in front of the village park.

The most direct and comfortable means to arrive on the research station in Golfo Aranci, Sardinia, Italy is certainly the airplane. Olbia - Costa Smeralda Airport is located 20km south-west of Golfo Aranci. Olbia airport is well connected both with the Italian and the European airports through national and international flights.

Afterwards you can take a city bus from Olbia airport to Olbia railway station (Numbers 2 and 10). Then you can take a train or bus to Golfo Aranci. Information of trains at: www.trenitalia.com; information of buses at: www.arst.sardegna.it

If you prefer you can take directly a taxi from Olbia airport to Golfo Aranci, travel time can exceed 30 min and can cost € 55 - € 65. Better to contact one day before the BDRI to call the taxi company of Golfo Aranci (they have a special price for our volunteers of 35 Euros instead 55 Euros as normal price) and the taxi driver will be waiting for you in the airport.
