A seven days trip to Menorca (flying with Volotea from Genoa) from 24th to 31st of July 2017.
Rented a car with https://www.hiperrentacar.com/it/, asking for a Fiat Panda or similar, ended up with a huge Opel Meriva full optional and with just 450km. 220€. Nice car, but way too big to travel the narrow roads of Menorca.
I stayed in a room with bathroom and kitchen rented on AirBnb, in the outskirts of Ciutadella. Cheap (compared to average prices) triple room, 420€ for a week.
A trip of 4 days at the end of May, in Marina di Grosseto surroundings. Stay at “La villa sul mare”, B&B on the seawalk, cheap but nice.
First day spent in Feniglia, south of Orbetello. Long (10KM) sandy beach with a huge pine woods inland. You can rent a bike to ride through the woods.
You can park here your car https://goo.gl/maps/CLPavF3aRBH2 (max 5€/day). Yon can walk along the beach almost as long as you like, and encounter almost no one, except in the first hundred meters.
The middle section was really deserted, the water shallow.
You can find some sun shelter even in the middle of the beach. Sometime someone reach this zone too.
Walking toward west, i encountered a few nudists. Continue reading Tuscany: Maremma and surroundings
