Isola di Molara, Granite island in Mediterranean Sea, Olbia, Italy
The island features multiple sandy coves, Mediterranean vegetation, and granite formations rising to 155 meters above the crystal-clear waters.
During the third century CE, the island provided sanctuary to Pope Pontian and priest Hippolytus during their exile from Imperial Rome.
The remains of a Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Pontian and the medieval village of Gurguray mark centuries of human presence.
Prior authorization from the Molara Cultural Association is required for visits, as the island remains private property under environmental protection.
The natural pools of Molara display white sand seabeds and waters that transition from deep blue to intense turquoise.
