If you enjoy antique markets or shopping for local artisan arts and crafts visit the many shops and open air markets along the Versilian coast or inland. It is possible to buy traditional stone, marble and bronze artefacts, terracotta products, as well as mosaics and have them shipped home.
Pamper yourself relaxing and enjoying some of the world's best Spas. The tradition and fame of the Tuscan Spas has grown over the centuries since the Roman Empire. Today prestigious establishments are equipped for recreation, sports and accommodation for those who wish to linger for a while longer.
Why not discover the treasures of the Tuscan archipelago such as those on the island of Elba. According to the legend the island itself is a pearl that Venus dropped from a precious necklace in the sea. Visit the isles of Capraia, Pianosa, Isola del Giglio, Gorgona, the North of Corsica or sail up to the gulf of the poet’s ‘Cinque Terre’ (Five Lands) just along the coastline.
