Cala di Porto Vecchio is a wide, remote cove on Capraia, reached by a trail through the former penal colony lands. A narrow pebble strip sits at the back, with sand and posidonia meadows in the shallows. Read more
The walk itself is part of the appeal, with viewpoints towards Punta della Teglia and the wild west coast cliffs. Back near the harbour, the village and the fortress give a good late-afternoon stroll, plus a choice of restaurant for dinner.

1 Review on “Cala di Porto Vecchio”
Cala di Porto Vecchio, situated on the island of Giglio off Tuscany’s coast, offers a calm and scenic anchorage. The bay provides decent shelter from north west winds, but easterly winds can make conditions here challenging. The seabed mostly consists of sand and rocks, offering fair holding, though it’s wise to double check the anchor given the mixed terrain. Close by – a small, charming village – is reachable by tender and has a few shops and trattorias where you can find local Italian dishes.
