Capo Testa & Valle della Luna
Capo Testa
A granite peninsula near Sardinia's northern tip, with wind-eroded rock formations, Roman-era quarry remains and the Valle della Luna, where hippies once lived in caves.
Capo Testa is connected to Santa Teresa Gallura by a narrow sandbar. It is covered with granite formations that wind has sculpted into shapes like monsters and mushrooms. The ancient Romans quarried stone here. Since the 1960s, hippies have lived in the caves of the Valle della Luna (Valley of the Moon). The trails are covered in gravel, so wear sneakers. Watch the sunset around the lighthouse, where you can see Corsica in the distance. It is about 65 km from Olbia.
