GIGLIO PORTO
Situated in a natural cove on the eastern coast, it is the commercial and touristic centre of the Island being the only point where ferry and boat services link the Island to the mainland.
ISLAND OF GIANNUTRI
The Island of Giannutri, with its half - moon shape, belongs to the borough of Giglio, it covers an area of 260 hectares and it is the most southern Island of the Tuscan Archipelago. Morphologically it is characterized by the presence of three mountains: Capel Rosso, Monte Mario and Poggio del Cannone.
The coast is rocky, indented and interrupted by two beaches: Gala della Spalmatoio at N.E. and Gala Maestra at N.W. The numerous grottos along the coast are very interesting: the most famous is the one of Gala dei Grottoni in the southern point of the Island. The climate is fairly mild in winter, as shown by the numerous tropical plants (Euphorbia, wild palms and orchids) and pleasantly windy in summer.
