Attention Part of the route is unofficially closed due to landslides. Passable at your own risk.

Beautiful coastal walk with a nice swimming opportunity in the middle of the tour. Surefootedness required.

Nice path on the promontory between Baratti and Buca delle Fate .. too bad it's a bit "unkempt"

Only do the hike with good shoes, especially the first part and the ascent. A little fitness doesn't hurt. At the beginning there is a warning sign that the path has been destroyed by a landslide. That's true, but you can get around it.
