1Giannutri, Monte Argentario
When people think Tuscany, they think Chianti wine country, sprawling green hills, and medieval towns. But the Maremma Coast is a long stretch of turquoise water and beach towns from north Lazio to southwest Tuscany. The island of Giglio or the Monte Argentario with the pretty seaside towns of Porto Ercole and Santo Stefano are a great base for exploring the area.
