Full Day Tour To Tuscany
FULL DAY TOUR TO TUSCANY’S MEDITTERANEAN SOUTH
COAST OF THE CALLED MAREMMA, TALAMONE, PORTO SANTO STEFANO AND ORBETELLO
Guests will depart from the hotel at 8:00am and return at 19:00pmThe area known as the Maremma begins south of Livorno and forms a coastal plain running to the very southern end of Tuscany. Famous for cowboys (the butteri), Etruscans and naturally heated springs, this is a different and relatively undiscovered part of Tuscany. With several large nature reserves, well-kept hill towns and countless Roman and Etruscan ruins this is a must for anyone wishing to see the undiscovered Tuscany.
The tour will also stop at Talamone. This is a small town, dominated
by the massive Sienese fortress which stands on the promontory in
front of the sea and is surrounded by beautiful old walls.
Another stop during your tour will take you to Porto Santo Stefano. This town is built on terraced ground and is dominated by an impressive fortress, and the famous porto ercole, where Hercules is believed to be the founder.
The last stop of the tour is the island of Torbetello This small city is located in the middle of the lagoon, between the Tombolo di Giannella and the Tombolo di Feniglia. Its most noteworthy monuments are the Ximenes Fortress and the gothic Cathedral that was built on the ruins of a heathen temple.
