Summer Hike at the Seaside

Dear group,

let's take advantage of the first warm temperatures to spend a sunny day in one of the most beautiful coastal areas in Tuscany: the Gulf of Baratti!

Starting from Torraccia, we will reach the villa of baron Di Stefano via a cypress boulevard; from there, we will be walking along a path that winds through this magnificent rocky coastal stretch.

Along the path we will find some unusual buildings like the Hexagon house and the Whale House from Vittorio Giorgini; of course we will dedicate some stops to swimming and sunbathing!

According to weather conditions and our will, we can choose to either climb up to the village of Populonia or staying at the sea level and visit Saint Cerbone necropolis and the park paths (paid admission).

Here's some characteristics of the excursion:

Total length: about 12.5 km
Total climb altitude: Protected content
Expected duration: Protected content
Difficulty level: easy\medium
Duration: day trip, packed mid-day lunch or at one of the bars near the beach.

Required equipment:
Suitable dressing for the weather forecast, trekking shoes, water 1.5L min, swimsuits, beach sandals.

Carpooling will be attempted to reach the starting point of the hike but seats for everybody cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, please consider using your own mean of transportation to reach the starting point; I'd be really grateful if you can offer seats to other participants!

Pls send me a private message to let me know if you need a lift and to provide your Whatsapp contact.
