The Via dei Cavalleggeri, which leads from Salivoli to the Gulf of Baratti along the Tuscan coast, is a path steeped in history and natural beauty. This ancient trail, originally guarded by light cavalry to protect the area from pirate attacks, crosses lush Mediterranean scrub and offers breathtaking views of ancient watchtowers and archaeological remains that tell of the deeds of ancient peoples, from the Etruscans to the Romans.
Starting from Salivoli, you can admire the spectacular Big Bench, a giant bench that invites you to rediscover the landscape like children. Continuing along the path, you reach the charming Cava beach, accessible via an adventurous descent among the rocks and characterized by a deserted island atmosphere.
Finally, the long-awaited finish line: the Gulf of Baratti. Here, the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea blend with the profile of ancient Etruscan ruins, creating a timeless scenario that encompasses centuries of history and charm. To find out more, read the blog post!
