The island

Giannutri is the most southerly island in the Arcipélago Toscano (Tuscan Archipelago). It reaches its highest point in Capel Rosso (88m/289ft). The coast is mainly rocky, with short stretches of sandy beach only in the northwest and northeast; it will appeal more, therefore, to skin-divers than to bathers. There are remains of a Roman villa of the first century A.D. on the island.
