San Teodoro is a small town with about 5,000 full-time residents. \u00a0It feels more resort-y than other towns we\u2019ve visited. \u00a0The town center is cute with shops, restaurants, a church, and several piazzas for lingering. The town is not old and unlike the other places we’ve been, there’s nothing of historical interest here.<\/p>\n

On the right side of the photo (below) by the church, there is a large stage with gigantic speakers set up for a free concert which will start tonight at 10:00 p.m. We\u2019re not certain we\u2019ll be attendance but judging by the size of the speakers, we\u2019ll probably hear it from our hotel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the summer, people flock here to visit the white sand beaches. It\u2019s not so crowded now but even in mid-October the water is still warm enough for swimming.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning we walked along trails in a nature preserve called Stagno di San Teodoro. The vegetation is interesting and looks to be in need of rain. We\u2019ve been fascinated by the rocky mountain in the distance.<\/p>\n

In the lagoon (stagno), flamingos feast on crustaceans in the shallow water.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still quite warm here. The only evidence of fall is in the grocery store (supermercato). Wandering around the grocery store is an adventure in itself.<\/p>\n

Many of our days begin by wandering around town. Today we discovered the cemetery. The tombs are mostly (local?) granite and many have photos of the deceased.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve enjoyed a late afternoon aperitivo here in San Teodoro. This Campari and soda spritz came with chips, olives, salsa, and other snacks. It\u2019s practically a meal!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re staying at Hotel Stella Marina. The cost is $81.00 U.S. Dollars per night. The rooms are small and clean but we\u2019ve just discovered a small sign on the back of the door that says that the water is \u201cnon-potable\u201d. We\u2019ve been drinking it so not sure what the outcome will be? On a positive note, breakfast is included in the price with pastries, fruits, yogurt, coffee, cakes, \u00a0juice and more.<\/p>\n

So, San Teodoro is a low-key place with plenty of activities to keep us busy for a couple of days. \u00a0It\u2019s been great to have a rental car to get around the island but tomorrow we\u2019ll return the car to the Airport in Olbia. We\u2019ll spend two nights in Olbia before we fly to Venice and then travel to Trieste, Italy by bus on Monday.<\/p>\n

We are missing family and friends but Sardinia has been a great destination – one we\u2019d recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to land.<\/p>\n
