Terceira is a small but exceptionally beautiful island. Lots of great restaurants, museums, and other attractions. The countryside is gorgeous and the waves pounding on the rocks all along the coast are amazing. Getting around by car is quite easy. Our favourite towns were Angra and Praia de Vitorio.
