With 90% of its nature still unspoilt, the island invites you to discover it along the numerous hiking trails, away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches. Immersed in the scent of the Mediterranean maquis, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Tuscan archipelago and the mainland almost all the way.
