Cycling the Tuscan Coast: Pisa to Grosseto, with a Ferry to Elba
Holiday packagesThe Tuscan coast along the ancient Via dei Cavalleggeri, in a 7-day self guided tour from Pisa to Grosseto
by New Tuscany
A ride along the Tuscan coast, following the traces of the Via dei Cavalleggeri — the road the Medici built to keep watch over every stretch of the Grand Duchy’s shoreline. Today you cycle that same road, from Pisa to Grosseto, across seven days where the Tyrrhenian Sea never quite leaves your side.
270 kilometers along the Tuscan Coastline: pine forests and Mediterranean scrubland, the vineyards of Bolgheri, the beaches of Cala Violina, and the island of Elba.
A route made for anyone who wants to enjoy the sea, good wine, and flat roads perfect for cycling on!
