Sardinia Itinerary Part V: Cala Gonone Boat Day

When you go to Sardinia, the BEST thing you could do is rent a boat from Cala Gonone!  It’s my #1 must-do in Sardinia and was the highlight of our trip!  Spending the full day out on the water with just your crew will never get old.  Dave and I had the luxury to explore the coast as we wanted, stopping to see what caught our fancy on our own time! #freedom. Rent Your Boat To rent a boat, walk up to the Cala Gonone ferry terminal where there will be a circle of different huts selling ferry tickets and […]

Sardinia Itinerary Part IV: Ferry to Cala Luna

After a fabulous few days enjoying the beaches and rocky cliffside hikes in Santa Teresa di Gallura and Capo Testo, we headed East to Cala Gonone.  Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches are found on this part of the island, so I was very excited to discover this side after our amazing days in the North! The drive from Santa Teresa di Gallura to Cala Gonone is about 2.5 hours, and you’ll traverse back through the mountains, through Olbia, and through more mountains along your drive.  The East is known for gorgeous beaches that are only accessible by boat and that’s because […]

Sardinia Itinerary Part III: Capo Testa Hiking

When I thought the most fabulous beach day couldn’t get any better, I was in for another surprise.  Dave and I finished our drinks at the Sea Lounge and hopped into the car to head back to our hotel.  Just as we reached the end of the road my eye caught sight of a sprawling park-like area heading towards the sea… calling our names!  Upon finding our happy coincidence we turned off the car, hopped out, and off we went! A happy-coincidence-turned-exploration has been the theme of the day, and I couldn’t be happier of how it turned out!  This park in […]

Sardinia Itinerary Part II: Capo Testa – Spiaggia Ponente and Cala Spinosa

Exploring Capo Testa ended up being one of my favorite ever vacation days.  I am so happy I chose to explore this area!  After a great day in Santa Teresa di Gallura, Sardinia, we wanted to explore the region just east called Capo Testa.  It’s an island next to STdG that was filled in via an access way to connect to mainland Sardinia.  I knew there were a few beaches in the area but not much more, so off we went exploring! We drove a total of 8 minutes from our hotel in STdG before we spotted gorgeous beaches to the right […]
