The Etruscan Coast, province of Livorno |
| |
| |
| "Costa degli Etruschi" is the name
of the coastal belt which encloses the natural oasis of Bolgheri,
the wonderful pine-wood of Cecina,
the beautiful hills of Bibbona,
Bolgheri and Monte
Calvi where the typical Mediterranean vegetation alternates
with fantastic chestnuts. |

The medieval towns of Castagneto Carducci,
Suvereto and Campiglia
Marittima are a must for those who love art and history:
tourists can admire the well-preserved ancient walls and the
wonderful fortified buildings. Inside the Etruscan times one
of the most important activities in the area (above all in
Monte Calvi) was mining.
In the Etruscan Coast there are a lot of interesting places
to visit and discover: Piombino,
the nearby Gulfof Baratti and the necropolis of Populonia,
an ancient Etruscan city where metals mined from the island
of Elba were processed.

| To mention the natural
park of "Rimigliano" in San Vincenzo,
a must for those who want to admire the landscape and always
be close to nature. |

Spending an holiday in the Etruscan coast doesn't mean just
sea, sun
and fun: it is also a kind of
search for art and history, for
the remotest roots of this land which still hides thousand
treasures.
A resort ideal for youngsters and families
too: there are endless chances of entertainment. This
is a place where the typical relaxation of an holiday offered
by crystal clear and clean sea,
wonderful beaches, beautiful
pinewoods and hills can be combined with the amusement.
