Yes, Terceira is worth visiting, but not for the same reasons as every other island. It is a place for people who enjoy culture, landscapes, food, history and travelling at a slower pace.

Two days in Terceira go by far too quickly. For a first visit, I recommend at least three days, and preferably four or five if you want to experience the island without rushing.
