Day 4 After the mountain, the sea Having visited the most beautiful cities in the region, driven through vineyards and olives groves, enjoyed wines of the Chianti, you deserve the opportunity to relax!

Trains and boats assure a regular connection between villages. Have a camera handy today as the views of the villages and the surrounding area are not to be missed!
