GIGLIO IN

The 15 Most Beautiful Italian Islands

"A small, away-from-it-all island about an hour off the Tuscan mainland, with just three towns, a handful of beaches, and hiking paths that traverse ancient Roman roads, terraced vineyards, and past herds of sheep and goats. Most visitors base themselves in either Giglio Porto or Campese and spend days swimming, sunning, napping, and feasting on fresh seafood at outdoor restaurants; active options include renting an e-bike or a skippered gommone (rubber dinghy) to reach hidden coves and beaches." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.
