Sailing and Trekking on Capraia Island

Would you like to immerse yourself into the wild nature of the Tuscan Archipelago, between sea, rocks and wildlife, away from the classic tourist circuits? Then join us for 3 unforgettable days of sailing and trekking on  Capraia Island.

The Tuscan Arhipelago is a chain of beautiful islands, between the Tyrrenian and the Ligurian Sea, west of Tuscany.

Legend says this beautiful group of islands was born from the necklace of Aphrodite, when it fell into the sea. No doubt Capraia is the most brilliant gem of the goddess jewel.

This small island is a truly magical place, far away from the usual routes of tourism. Rocky and immersed in the scent of tamarisks, Mediterranean scrubs and wild nature, Capraia offers at the same time the spumed and patient sea motion.

Besides, it’s the only volcanic island of the Archipelago. Black and red rocks, dotted here and there, are still alive. During these days, we will discover a unique landscape that opens cliff-panoramic views. In Capraia, the horizon draws the profiles of nearby Corsica and the other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago

We will meet at the Marina di Cecina Port, in Cecina, and have dinner at the port restaurant. On the first day of our tour day we will sail to Capraia Island. That afternoon we will hike to the former Penal Colony. We will enjoy beautiful views of the terraces on the valleys and of the harbor as well.

Then, on the second day, we will board the boat and sail to the island after breakfast. We will trek to the Zenobito Point, an average difficulty walk, to the extreme southern side of Capraia Island. The panorama views there are breathtaking! From Mount Arpagna we can observe the whole surrounding sea.

Finally, on the last day, we will board the boat back to the Cecina Port. You can check the day-by-day detailed itinerary below this text.
