Programma

1st DAY: 

Arrival of the group in the morning or in the afternoon at the port of Porto Santo Stefano. Start of our services. Boarding operations for the Island of Giglio. After approximately one hour the ferry arrives in Giglio Porto, a picturesque fishing village that is located around the small harbour with colourful houses overlooking the sea and, on the left, rises the Tower of Saraceno built in 1596 by Ferdinand I, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Free time for lunch or lunch in restaurant (if reserved). Meeting with the trekking guide (if reserved). Start of the trekking from the Tower of Saraceno and after a series of narrow streets and alleyways along small creeks and along a short stretch of paved road, arrival at the golden beach of Cannelle and later, through a path that runs along the sea, at Caldane beach. Hotel accommodation, dinner and overnight.

2nd DAY: 

After breakfast, meeting with the trekking guide (if reserved). The hike begins along a trail of 2 km that leads to Giglio Castello, Town Hall, located at 405 meters above sea level. Surrounded by imposing walls interspersed with 3 circular towers and 7 rectangular towers, this jewel of medieval architecture remains largely intact today. The narrow streets, often topped by arches and exterior stairs of houses (called balzioli), make of Giglio Castello an evocative and unforgettable destination. The panorama overlooks the campaign where the maquis takes over. By continuing the path along the central ridge, the group arrives to "Sasso Ritto”: here is possible to see the common kestrel, characteristic for its flight, which leads him to remain immobile while waiting for the prey and the peregrine falcon. Free time for lunch or lunch in restaurant (if reserved). In the afternoon start of downhill until the beach of the Cannelle. The typical Mediterranean vegetation covers the slopes of the hills that lead to the sea. You can observe the mastic, the arbutus, myrtle and heather. Arrived on the coast, is possible to take a swim or come back to Giglio Porto through the paved road. Retour to the hotel, dinner and overnight stay.

3rd DAY: 

After breakfast, meeting with the trekking guide (if reserved) and departure for Giglio Campese for visiting the west coast of the island. An unpaved road leads up to a hill overlooking the cliffs of Cala dell'Allume. Through a very steep path the group will have access to the cove where the rocks have taken a golden colour due to debris of pyrites extracted from the mine above. Coming back, a path leads up to the "Faraglione", a rock spur-shaped, symbol of Giglio Campese. Free time for lunch or lunch in restaurant (if reserved). In the afternoon, transfer to the port, boarding operations and departure for Porto Santo Stefano. End of our services.
