Yacht charter Santa Teresa Gallura
A yacht charter Santa Teresa Gallura will bring you to the northernmost city of Sardinia. The nearest airport in Olbia is about 45 kilometers away. The marina is well developed and maintained and provides you with everything you need to start your sailing trip without worries. The town itself was founded in 1808 by the then King of Sardinia and named after his Austrian wife. Over time, it has become an extremely popular seaside resort. The beaches in the immediate vicinity of the city (Rena di Ponente, La Marmorata, La Licciola, to name only the most famous) with their white sand, turquoise waters and green coastline are extremely popular, especially during the summer months. Yacht charterers have an advantage, as it's worth exploring the coastline from the sea, as you'll find equally beautiful beaches that offer a slightly quieter swimming experience. The town itself exudes a relaxed atmosphere. The houses, which reach almost to the beach are kept in pastel shades and there are many boutiques, craft stores and cafes. The restaurants offer typical Sardinian and Gallurese cuisine, such as Zuppa Gallurese, a soup au gratin based on a meat broth, enhanced with peccorina. To a relaxing afternoon on the small streets of Santa Teresa Gallura, goes perfectly with a Sardinian wine tasting, from local grape varieties such as the Nuragus or the Torbato.
Capo Testa, connected to the Sardinian mainland by a narrow land bridge, offers impressive walks past impressive granite rocks that have been carved into fantasy shapes by nature over the millennia. The lighthouse at the cape is also a beautiful vantage point. If the visibility is good, you can see as far as Corsica and perhaps already plan your trip to the French island.
The proximity to Corsica - Two countries in one vacation
From your yacht charter Santa Teresa Gallura the coast of Corsica with Bonifacio is only 10 nautical miles away. For experienced sailors a crossing over the Strait of Bonifacio to the impressive town of the same name is worthwhile. One should inform oneself well about the weather and wind conditions beforehand. Due to the jet effects between the two land masses, the wind force in the Strait is about 2 to 3 Beaufort higher than in the coastal area. The trip to the natural harbor of Bonifacio is something special, because it goes first along the chalk cliff coast and then between the cliffs into the harbor, with the city towering above in the view. Here you can then reward yourself with traditional Corsican cuisine in one of the good restaurants in the lower town right by the harbor. Or you can make your way up to the upper town with its citadel and the churches of Saint-Marie-Majeure and Saint-Jean-Baptiste. If you prefer the beach, not far from the city you will find the beach of Rondinara, which is considered the most beautiful beach in Corsica and is also particularly suitable for families. Or you can explore with your charter yacht the Corsican south coast with its lonely bays and the port city Porto-Vecchio with its Genoese fortress and the lagoon beach Santa Giulia, located in the southeast.
The Lavezzi Archipelago
While the north of Sardinia is well known for the Maddalena archipelago, another interesting group of islands awaits you on a yacht charter in Santa Teresa Gallura, not far from Bonifacio. The area around the nearly 100 islands is home to a diverse nature. Since 1982 the archipelago is under nature protection. Only one of the islands, Île de Cavallo, is inhabited and only two others may be entered. The waters are to be navigated carefully, there lurk shoals and reefs, but it is worth it, for example for a diving excursion, on which one can encounter tuna, scorpion fish, starfish and much more.
The quiet northwest of Sardinia
If you are looking for more tranquility and seclusion on your yacht charter, Santa Teresa Gallura offers a trip to the southwest. Once you have sailed around Capo Testa, you will find a long, less populated coastline with beautiful beaches.
A yacht charter Santa Teresa Gallura offers the right trip for different sailing levels: Nature, secluded bays, picturesque beaches and sportive activities embedded in emerald sea.
