Two
kilometres of golden beach and a variety of high quality accomodation
make this antique fishing town one of the most popular tourist centres
of the island. Despite Marina di Campo’s development being primarily
of a touristic nature,the traditional fishing village charm of the
small town has not been lost. Colorful wooden fishing boats, filled
with nets and tackle, are still a fixture in the port of Marina di
campo.
To
admire the size and splendor of the gulf of Campo one should climb
towards San’Ilario and San Piero, the picturesque, antique hamlets
known for their granite caves where important monuments have been
sculptered and imperial
pilars stand.
Here, in present day, an association of stone cutters work to preserve
the antique works in granite, these being considered valuble and
sought after furnishings.
Between these two
small towns,on the road that leads to Monte
Perone, one will find numerous small pathways suitable for
trekking.Along these tracks, besides coming into contact with various
types of native plants and animals,one will find the Torre
of San Giovanni.
Constructed
in the 7th century on what was then a Roman site, this
tower is found at a short distance from the facinating Roman-Pisan
church of San Giovanni.
Extraordinary
for the beauty of the surrounding scenery and sea are the beaches of Cavoli
and Fetovaia.
Formed of golden sand with a granite origin meaning the sand doesn’t
cling to ones skin, these beaches are definately the most loved and
most popular amongst the young.
