Start the day with a visit to the tourist town of San Vincenzo. This seaside resort has its own Blue Flag beach and is close by to a famous Etruscan archaeological site. San Vincenzo has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic Age because of its ideal position beside the sea and proximity to the River Cecina and River Cornia.

Food was plentiful both from the sea and the land because of the mild Mediterranean climate found all year round here. The ancient civilisation called the Etruscans lived in great numbers here and much remains of their influence in the form of buildings and artefacts.

San Vincenzo is a perfect tourist hotspot and is one of the busiest along the Etruscan coastline. Walk along the stunning promenade here and perhaps pop into one of the many tasty eateries beside it for a sublime seafood feast.
