Walking along the paths of the Populonia promontory is like walking through history, among the remains of Etruscan tombs and quarries, ancient artifacts, abandoned places of worship, abandoned sources, remains of walls ... always surrounded by the scents and colors of the typical Mediterranean scrub and accompanied from the sight and sound of the sea, which seems to want to give rhythm to our step and which suddenly welcomes us to its many beaches and coves that we are going to discover, such as Buca delle Fate, Cala San Quirico, Cala del Termine, Fosso alle Canne ... unique opportunities for the first baths of the season!
