The Tuscan archipelago is a chain of islands west of Tuscany. The archipelago contains the islands of Elba (the largest island of the group), Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio, Gorgona and Giannutri, all of which are protected as part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.
Legend says, the Tuscan Archipelago originated from a jewel that slipped off Venus’s neck, the goddess of beauty and love, and fell into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Isles of Giglio, Giannutri and Elba in particular are not to be missed. Giglio is not very big but its 3 little nice villages are worh a stop on your luxury charter route. Elba, the largest of the islands, is only 30 nm from the Italian mainland and not far from the Argenatario Peninsula, a glamorous and trendy yacht charter area.
