60 minutes from AHO to Santa Teresa Gallura in peak season

This seasonal bus line links Alghero-Fertilia Airport (AHO, T1) to Santa Teresa Gallura in about 60 minutes, aimed squarely at people heading for the Santa Teresa–Bonifacio ferry or the northern Sardinian beaches without renting a car. Direct airport links to Santa Teresa are rare in Sardinia, so this route fills a gap that ARST’s regular patchwork of buses doesn’t always cover.

The bus typically runs only in high season, roughly summer months when ferry traffic between Santa Teresa Gallura and Bonifacio spikes, so don’t assume it operates in April or October. Because the line is seasonal, exact dates and timetables shift year to year, and departures can bunch around the late-morning and mid-afternoon bank of flights at T1 rather than running all day.

Plan around a 60‑minute ride from the airport to Santa Teresa Gallura, give or take traffic around Sassari and the coastal stretch. Compared with stitching together two or three ARST routes, this single bus cuts out a change at Olbia or Sassari and saves 20–40 minutes plus the hassle of hauling bags between stands.

Tickets usually price lower than a one‑day car rental plus fuel, especially for solo travellers heading to the Santa Teresa Gallura–Bonifacio ferry or to nearby beaches like Rena Bianca. Expect simple coach seating, luggage tossed into underfloor bays at T1, and basic air‑conditioning, not a full intercity‑luxury setup.

The bus departs from the main coach area outside T1 at Alghero-Fertilia Airport, not from a city stop in Alghero itself, so you step off your flight, walk a few minutes out of arrivals, and board. At the other end, drop‑off is in Santa Teresa Gallura’s town area within walking distance of the ferry port in roughly 10–15 minutes, depending on your pace and bags.

Practical tip: treat this as a once‑or‑twice‑daily seasonal link, not a metro; check the specific year’s timetable before you book a ferry from Santa Teresa Gallura or a flight into AHO, and build a buffer of at least one ferry departure or two flight hours in case the limited runs don’t match your ideal schedule.
