Set sail to discover some of the most fascinating destinations on the Tuscan coast:
Elba Island: the heart of the archipelago
The largest of the Tuscan islands is a perfect mix of wilderness and historic villages. Here you can stroll among the streets of Portoferraio, plunge into the turquoise waters of Cabbages and Fetovaia, or explore the inland mountains, which offer incredible views of the coast. An island to discover between history, sea and adventure.
Giannutri: the island of Mediterranean scents
The southernmost of the archipelago, Giannutri is a paradise of unspoilt nature, where the scent of mastic and myrtle mingles with the sea breeze. Its hidden bays, washed by a transparent sea, are ideal for those seeking tranquillity and relaxation. Here there are also the remains of an ancient Roman villa overlooking the sea, witness to the beauty of this place already in imperial times.
Giglio: a village suspended between sky and sea
The island of Giglio enchants with its vivid colours, turquoise waters and the medieval charm of the fortified village of Giglio Castello. With its picture-postcard bays such as Cala delle Cannelle and Cala dell'Arenella, is a perfect destination for those who love the authentic and unspoilt sea.
The Ants of Grosseto: an underwater paradise
Three solitary islets emerge from the waters off the Maremma coast, surrounded by one of the most spectacular seabeds in the entire Mediterranean. Le Ants of Grosseto are a true paradise for divers, with underwater caves, coral walls and schools of colourful fish that make every dive an unforgettable experience.
Argentario: the pearl of the Maremma coast
More than an island, the’Argentario is a wild promontory connected to the mainland by two long sand tongues. Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole are little gems overlooking the sea, while hidden coves such as Chalk Cove and Dead Sea Cove offer a perfect piece of paradise for those seeking crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery.
Montecristo: the island of mystery
Made famous by the novel by Dumas, Montecristo is an island shrouded in mythical charm. Protected and uninhabited, it is a unspoilt nature reserve, where nature reigns supreme and the cliffs plunge into a deep blue sea. Visitable only with special permission, it is a place that retains a timeless atmosphere of mystery and fascination.
