Of course I want to say that I came here to view the costa Concordia wreckage. I did. It is horrific. But ht island is charming and I had a nice time collecting sea glass and having lunch. It was a nice ferry ride from Porto S Stefano. We did not ferry our car and wish we did to explore... More

Giglio island is a small jewel in the Mediterranean sea. If you take a boat you go round and you find blue sea and wonderful beach. You can eat at Giglio porto or go to visit the oldest part at Giglio castello...Very interesting for scuba divers.
