Day to discover Giannutri, the southernmost island of the Tuscan Archipelago, the island of seagulls, a corner of paradise in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In the morning we will go to discover the southern part of the island up to the southernmost point, the tip of Capel Rosso, characterized by the characteristic lighthouse.

On the way back we will stop to eat in what was once a Roman port and we will have the opportunity to swim in a dream place.

In the afternoon, for those who want, we will go to the discovery of the naturalistic wonders of the northern part, up to Punta San Francesco.

For those who are tired or want to enjoy the sun and the sea, they can rejoin the group and then visit the village of Cala Spalmatoio together.
