Tuscan Coast

The Tuscan coast known as Maremma isn't on the bus tour circuit. This secluded region in Tuscany's south remains true to its small town roots. Separated by chestnuts forests and sprawling vineyards, the towns of Maremma have remained uncontaminated by the tourist explosion. The region is unique because of the variety of its territory; blue seas, long beaches, thick woods, vineyards, olive groves, and marshes. The rolling hills are gentler than central Tuscany, making for easier cycling. Maremma is not all landscapes. It is also a region rich in typical products to be tasted and savored. Sea and hills blend perfectly in the food and wine. On this tour you spend the night in three different medieval coastal hilltowns. You can visit Etruscan ruins, two castles, a winery, and a sandy beach. We meet you in Florence and drive you to the start. You end in Cecina, a town with excellent train connections.
