Introducing Santa Teresa di Gallura
Together with Palau, about 20km to the east, this unspoilt seaside resort is a more pleasing alternative to the more soulless resorts on the Costa Smeralda. The old centre has plenty of vernacular architecture and has a prosperous attractive feel with its speciality delis and good-value restaurants and hotels. Head for the surreal, wind-sculpted granite rock-forms of the nearby Capo Testa. You can see Corsica across the Stretto di Bonifacio or even catch a ferry to Bonifacio for a day trip.

The town was founded in 1808 by the island’s Savoy rulers to combat smugglers. These days the invaders are tourists, numbering some 50,000 in August.
