Holidays in Versilia

5 days/4 nights
Suggested seasons: Spring/Summer/Autumn

Few know that behind the coastline, only a few kilometers from the wide sandy beaches of Versilia there’s an unexpected world made of extraordinary variegated landscapes, that feature an exclusive geology and a unique, fabulous nature: the Natural Park of the Apuan Alps. Since centuries, this territory is linked to the word “ marble”, a sought-after material which enchanted artists, sculptors and architects from all over the world; among them Michelangelo, who used to come here to choose the marble blocks for its eternal works. Nowadays this territory has been protected with the creation of a Natural Park. Fascinating itineraries will lead you to discover sites seeped into history and culture, reminiscent of the life of the ancient Apuan populations. Stroll through ancient forest, deep green woods, fresh clear streams and finally enjoy breathless views of the Versilia coast and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
