 Islands of Giglio and Giannutri
Islands of Giglio and Giannutri
On Giglio there are three developed areas: Giglio Porto (ferries from Porto Santo Stefano berth here), Giglio Castello (a fortified village built by a colony from the city of Pisa) and Campese (with the most beautiful beach).
On Giannutri you may visit the remains of an old Roman villa and small fishing villages.
The island has a surface of just two square kilometres and a handful of inhabitants.
Its coasts are ragged and full of fascinating coves.
There are two landing places: Cala Maestra on the western side and Cala dello Spalmatoio, where the built-up area is developing.
