[img index="0" params=m&class=image-l"][/img]If you have chosen the Island of Elba for your summer holidays, Giglio might prove to be the perfect destination for a one day excursion if you want to discover the second largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago.

Even before you actually land you will immediately be fascinated by the very colourful tiny town of Giglio Porto, truly characteristic with its pastel coloured houses overlooking the sea, that are all very close together and crossed by tiny lanes and alleys.

A visit to the Medieval town of Giglio Castello, made up of tiny lanes, the city walls, the fortress and the breathtaking view from there, will give you a good idea about the history of this island that was so sought after in the last centuries.

Follow the old, muletrack that leads to the water and take a walk in the in the shade of the holm oaks and you will fully appreciate the beauty of the nature to be found on this gian,t granite rock. With its 28 kilometres of coastline, full of tiny coves, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches, the Island of Giglio offers you unique and very varied scenery.
