The coast heading north from Talamone is already part of the Maremma Regional Park. This nature reserve in southern Tuscany covers the area south of Principina a Mare, the mouth of the Ombrone river, the Uccellina mountains and the hinterland as far as Albarese. That’s also where the visitor centre is located. Special access regulations apply for hiking, horse riding, kayaking or cycling tours. Many tours can only be done with prior registration and, in some cases, only with a guide. Read more

The Rocca Aldobrandesca castle on the rocky coast of the Maremma in Talamone in the golden sunset, Tuscany, Italy

Talamone, a picturesque coastal village in Tuscany, has its own unique charm. Talamone offers spectacular views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The coastline is characterised by rocky cliffs, hidden coves and crystal-clear water, making the place a paradise for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Visitors appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and the warm hospitality of the locals. In contrast to the heavily visited – if not overcrowded – tourist destinations in northern Tuscany, as we experienced in Pisa the days before, Talamone is significantly quieter. This is particularly noticeable in the low season in September and October. The sea is still at a pleasant temperature and the sunny days are southern-warm. Read more

Driftwood sculptures on the beach in front of the old town of Talamone on the Mediterranean, Maremma, Tuscany, Italy

On our trip to Tuscany, we had only two destinations firmly planned: a reunion with the Old Town of Siena and the coast near Castiglione della Pescaia in southern Tuscany. After that, we let our curiosity guide us. When we spotted Monte Argentario on the horizon to the south of Castiglione, our next direction was set. For this, we crossed the Maremma plain near Grosseto and passed through the Monti dell’ Uccelina Nature Park. On its southern edge lies Talamone, a small ensemble of a medieval old town, a fortress and a modern marina, which we had chosen as our next base. Read more
