Snorkeling Site

Argentario and the nearby area of Santuario dei Cetacei, including Isola di Giannutri, are exceptional spots for snorkeling, offering some of the Mediterranean's most vibrant underwater experiences. The protected waters of the Cetacean Sanctuary are rich in marine life, where snorkelers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of fish species. The seabeds around Isola di Giannutri are particularly captivating, featuring a mix of rocky outcrops, underwater caves, and Posidonia meadows, which serve as nurseries for many marine creatures. The clear, calm waters ensure excellent visibility, allowing snorkelers to fully appreciate the stunning biodiversity of this marine paradise.
