There is a corner of Tuscany that is an exception to that kind of tourism known as “short break tourism”.
The Costa degli Etruschi is an island far from a world, which is in a hurry, where the concepts of space and time are altered.
If you like taking your time travelling, treading carefully, looking around and taking pleasure from the silence and the scents of nature, here you are welcome.
This land has inherited a strong ancient heart from the Etruscans that is said to have determined the wild spirit of Maremma.
Aeolus’ winds blow against the rough Mediterranean Macchia vegetation which seems to be grasping onto the coastal sandy beaches and rocks.
Like birds of prey the stoned villages hover over the green and blue outline of the Tuscan archipelago.
You do not need to go far to be deep in nature. Walking or cycling along the tracks of ancient charcoalmen, when a family of
roe-deer happens to cross your way, is a really exciting adventure.
All this is possible because here, the terri-tory is unaltered. The coast has not been spoiled by cement constructions.
On the hills, the woods and the Macchia vegetation are hundreds of years old.
This guide will take you to the most suitable areas for outdoor tourism along itineraries where the roar of motors
has never been heard. Horse-riding, walking or cycling, you will discover the soul of this land, discrete and authentic
like its people, scented like its wine, extra-virgin like its oil - in short, pure.
