TUSCANY urprising and authentic, the Tuscan coast alter- nates long, sandy beaches, such as those of Ver- silia, with rocky cliffs and steep promontories. Mediterranean vegetation and crystal clear sea are the characteristics of this part of Tuscany, a wonderful region in all its aspects and rich in differing landscapes. The Argentario offers rugged coastlines and unspoilt nature, flourishing reefs in suggestive blue seabeds. Beautiful Versilia offers long sandy beaches, social life and nightclubs. There are numerous excursions possible, espe- cially by bicycle, a widely-used means of transport and the best way to visit the beautiful countryside of the Marem- ma. No less particular and fascinating are the towns of Li- vorno and Grosseto with their good cuisine and typical lo- cal dishes, like the famous Cacciucco (a local fish stew) or stockfish Livorno-style. Among the annual events we must mention the famous and colourful Carnival of Viareggio, known worldwide for its colossal allegorical floats made of papier-mâché.
