Santa Teresa di Gallura

The northernmost town of Sardinia just 12 km away from Corsica . Santa Teresa di Gallura is one of the most popular seaside resorts founded about 200 years ago by King Vittorio Emanuele I . It is a modern town full of attractions. Its surrounding territory carries thousands of years of history behind it, as evidenced by various archaeological sites such as the 14th century site of Lu Brandali .

The Rena Bianca beach is located right in the center of the town and has been awarded as one of the blue flag beaches since 1987, thanks to its cleanest waters in Sardinia

The coast of Gallura is a set of incredible scenarios. Granite rocks carved by the wind, which take the most unusual shapes such as the majestic eagle of Capo Testa . Hidden beaches nestled between gentle granite rocks and brightly colored waters and fish-rich backdrops.

Is Santa Teresa di Gallura worth visiting?

Santa Teresa is a really lovely village. Very well connected to reach many interesting places in northern Sardinia. The Gallura region has unique features different from the rest of Sardinia.

Its position particularly exposed to the winds has created a territory that over the centuries has been able to mold itself to the strong mistral and grecale currents. The Strait of Bonifacio that separates Sardinia from Corsica and one of the windiest points in the Mediterranean.

Santa Teresa di Gallura is only 11 miles from Corsica. Nice to go in Bonificio for a coffee and return to Sardinia for an aperitif! The ferries to Corsica depart from the small port of Santa Teresa, right in the center of the town.

20 Aug 2023 | Group day excursion by speedboat in the Corsican Archipelago with lunch

A really good experience, highly recommended!

Top experience, spacious and comfortable boat, even if fully booked, Paolo the skipper and Antonio extraordinaire and very kind, they put you at your ease as well as an aperitif and Sardinian gnocchetto (coffee and myrtle at will, not to be forgotten). And then the most important thing: the islands, Lavezzi, beautiful and unspoilt, Isola Piana leaves you breathless, nothing but really nothing to envy to the more famous La Maddalena (much less crowded in Agoato) Super Consigliatiiiii!

22 Aug 2022 | Motorboat day tour to the Maddalena Archipelago

It was a very nice excursion, but it was a pity that the explanations were only in Italian, although the crew did know English. nWe had an hour to see the village of La Maddalena, an hour and a quarter in the Santa Maria cove and we stopped at the natural pools of Budelli for lunch (they gave us a plate of pasta frutti di mare and it was very good). At the end we stopped for another hour and a half at Cala Corsara.

Paradise exists

A day full of magic, full of emotions, adrenalin, sensations that have enriched my personal baggage of life, accompanied by Emiliano, a skipper with all his 35 years at sea, friendly, thoughtful, kind and very funny, the time flew by too fast, highly recommended, everything then ended with a simple and delicious aperitif, typical Sardinian products and a good glass of white wine, thank you all!

30 Aug 2023 | Group day excursion by speedboat in the Corsican Archipelago with lunch

Everything wonderful!!!!

Amazing day! I highly recommend him. He made us spend a lot of time on the island of lavezzi arriving very early when no one was around and advised us on the best places to snorkel. 2 hours and more of stops at both lavezzi and isola piana where we also had time to get to corsica on the mainland. Comfortable motorboat and excellent lunch. To be repeated. Thank you! Alessandra and Massimiliano

09 Sep 2023 | Group tour dinghy in Corsica

One of the most beautiful experiences of this holiday

The skipper is very experienced and friendly so the trip was done safely and with a great atmosphere. The beaches he showed us were really special, unreachable in any other way but by sea. I recommend having sneakers with you to be able to fully visit Bonifacio (the staircase along the rock) and a snorkel mask to see the fish on the last beach. I am very happy to have done this excursion.

21 Sep 2022 | Motorboat day tour to the Maddalena Archipelago

We chose this tour because it included lunch for practically the same price. I imagined a frugal meal, but instead we were given an excellent and plentiful plate of seafood pasta, a really well-made sauce, and they even came by to ask who wanted seconds. The only thing is that from Santa Teresa Gallura it is a longer drive to the La Maddalena archipelago

The company.

Ichnusa Lines was established in 2021 by two long-standing Genoa-based companies, the Finsea Group and the San Giorgio del Porto shipbuilders, respectively operating in the fields of logistics and ship repairs. The sea is the common ground which unites their business and backgrounds.

These shared business values led to the creation of Genova Trasporti Marittimi, the company which now manages Ichnusa Lines. It is an entrepreneurial challenge which offers passengers the opportunity to sail on a splendid, unique sea. Yet as the Bocche di Bonifacio prove, it can also present difficult conditions. Crossings are accordingly navigated using a ship designed and built for the purpose, offering outstanding seaworthiness even in rough seas, thanks to its state-of-the-art stabilising system.

Nave Ichnusa was constructed in the Castellammare di Stabia shipyard in Campania by Fincantieri. Launched in 1985, it is 64 metres long and 13 wide. It has two stabilising fins, a technical characteristic designed to allow it to operate uninterruptedly in the waters between Corsica and Sardinia, a stretch which has always been subject to strong currents and coastal storms. Its structure also makes it well suited to short journeys; it has a single lounge area with a maximum capacity of 325 passengers, and a vehicle garage of around 200 linear metres which holds almost 50 cars.
