Tertenia
This modest Sardinian town in the Ogliastra province sits where a highland valley meets the eastern coast, with mountain views inland and water access close by. Rooted in agro-pastoral tradition, Tertenia occupies the Quirra valley between Mt. Ferru and Mt. Arbu, with a modest central core of cafés and restaurants. The wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the town draws independent travellers looking for a quieter base on Sardinia's eastern edge.
