Postcard-Perfect Landscapes
Yes, the scenery really
is
that gorgeous. Central Tuscany is dotted with medieval hilltop
fortresses, vine-planted hillsides and sculptural stands of cypress trees; the northwest and
east harbour boast dramatic mountain ranges and fecund forests; and the central and
southern coasts feature a garland of islands floating tantalisingly close to a shoreline teem-
ing with wildlife. The range of outdoor activities on offer is equally diverse, contributing
to the region's reputation as a repository of grand-slam sights and experiences unmatched
anywhere in the world.
