Giglio Island: The Tuscan Archipelago


The Hilly island of Giglio is Tuscany's second largest after Elba. Some 14 Km off Monte Argentario, its pristine waters are increasingly popular with divers. There is a regular boat service from Porto Santo Stefano make getting to this pretty little spot easy. You arrive at colourful Giglio Porto, once Roman port and now best spot to find accommodation. A local bus service will take you 6 km to the inland fastness Giglio Castle, dominated by Pisan Castle.

Asaide from a couple of patches of sand the size of the beach towel, the only beaches are on western side of the island in and around the modern resort of Giglio Campanese, built around the old watch tower
