Description

The island of Giannutri is the southernmost of the seven islands that make up the Tuscan archipelago and is located about 12 miles away from the island of Giglio, of which it is part as a municipality.

Giannutri is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, about six miles off theArgentario promontory in the Province of Grosseto. The island is the smallest of the inhabited islands and has an area of about 2.8 km². It is crescent-shaped, and its terrain is limestone, consisting of several promontories, the highest of which rises to 85 meters above sea level.

The coastline of Giannutri stretches for about 11 km, but access is prohibited in most areas. Giannutri is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park; it is a marine park and is subject to numerous restrictions.

Depending on the stretch of coastline, fishing, anchoring, and diving are prohibited within 1 km of the shore. Generally, spearfishing and fishing are prohibited, except in certain areas where they are permitted for residents; non-residents must obtain authorization from the maritime authority.

Swimming is permitted only within certain sections of the sea marked by red and white buoys. Boats may anchor overnight at Cala Spalmatoio and Cala Maestra.

Mooring is permitted only in the northern part of Cala Spalmatoio, and only for the brief time required to load and unload cargo and passengers. If necessary, you must make way for the numerous ships that connect the island daily with Porto Santo Stefano and the island of Giglio.

The interior of Giannutri is also very interesting from an archaeological standpoint, although access is prohibited in many areas during the summer season. Traces of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age have been found, and the island reached the height of its splendor during the Roman era.

At Cala Spalmatoio there are the remains of an ancient Roman ports and at Cala Maestra those of a beautiful villa dating from the second century AD.

During the winter, about thirty people live there, but in the summer the area becomes a destination for many tourists, who stay in the town center or in luxurious villas nestled among the dense vegetation.

At the top of the island is a helicopter that ports daily supplies for residents, stores and restaurants that are in the small town.

Giannutri is a true paradise on earth, and the sea is exceptionally clear. Naturally, in the summer, Cala Spalmatoio and the entire island are very crowded, and the authorities step up their efforts to ensure compliance with the restrictions.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
