Central Coast & Elba
Seafood in Livorno
The feisty locals in this gritty waterside city are staunchly proud of
cacciucco,

able seafood stew swimming with at least five types of fish. It's best enjoyed with a glass
of local Sassicaia wine.

Visit Elba, the palm tree-clad paradise where Napoleon was banished. This bijou island of-
fers a sensational mix of sunbathing, seakayaking, snorkelling and swimming.
Etruscan Heritage
Exploring the remains of ancient Etruscan tombs and temples hidden beneath sky-high
parasol pines on the Golfo di Baratti's sandy shoreline is an extraordinary experience. Pair
it with gentle walking and a picnic lunch.
