One of the very best ways to see the Argentario is by boat; the coastline is spectacular, and it’s a easier way to get to some of the prettiest little coves and beaches than hiking down from the Strada Panoramica that curls around the western coastline. You’re on holiday after all, it’s supposed to be fun…

The best place for boat hire is Porto Santo Stefano, everything from a simple little dinghy up to small yachts. You can choose to either take a boat out yourselves or go out with a group and a captain. For real fun, though, go diving! Even if you’ve never done it before or want to limit yourself to just snorkeling, there’s a number of excellent and affordable options to choose from.
