Question 1

Can I go to Corsica for a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the Santa Teresa-Bonifacio ferries take about 50 minutes, and in summer there are more departures per day. Leaving in the morning allows for a comfortable visit to the citadel of Bonifacio and returning in time for dinner.

Question 2

How do I reach the Valley of the Moon?

Accepted Answer

You can park at Capo Testa (in summer the parking fills up quickly) and walk down the path to Cala Grande: 15-20 minutes among the granites. Closed shoes are needed; the path is not suitable for strollers.

Question 3

Is Rena Bianca suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes: sandy and sloping bottom, beach services, and the town center just five minutes on foot. It’s one of the most family-friendly beaches in Gallura.

Question 4

How far is Santa Teresa from Olbia airport?

Accepted Answer

About an hour by car (60 km) along the SS133bis via Palau. Alternatively, there are bus services, but with luggage and family, a rental car remains the most practical solution.

Question 5

Is the wind a problem?

Accepted Answer

The maestrale wind in the Bonifacio Straits is frequent, but the double exposure of the beaches helps: with wind from the west, you go to Rena di Levante or La Marmorata, with wind from the east to Rena di Ponente. Boat excursions adapt or are rescheduled.
