Hu Park Albatros Village

You really could stay on site for your whole hol at Park Albatros Village given its size and the huge amounts of things to do, but it's set on such a gorge part of the Tuscany coast that days out around there must (must) be had too. A definite early stop should be the beaut Gulf of Baratti, between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas: it was once one of the most important Etruscan ports in these parts, and these days is popular with divers, snorkellers, beach baskers and wildlife watchers. Also get along to local little medieval villages like Campiglia and Suvereto, and to the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia, close to the Baratti gulf at Piombino and covering over 80 hectares of archaeological sites relating to the ancient Etruscan city of Populonia. Porto Piombino, ten minutes' drive from the site, is another popular option in the area; from here, catch the ferry over for the cycling, wildlife watching and more spectacular scenery of the island of Elba.
