Yacht charters Piombino / Marina di Salivoli – the destination

In former times Piombino was the capital of a principality with the same name. The ancient Etruscan town of Piombino does have a fascinating past – Napoleon ended here in his first exile, and finished with the freedom of the small state – but is now predominantly industrial (piombo means "lead") with metal processing and smelting. But yacht charter Piombino crews who start their yacht charter cruise through the Tuscan Archipelago in the Marina Salivoli should nevertheless take time for a stroll through the amazingly well preserved old town: with churches such as the Chiesa della Misericordia built in the 13th Century and the abbey church of Sant ‘Antimo from the 14th Century, and attractions such as the Torrione, a 1212 built tower, or the city gate dating from the 15th Century. The origins of the ferry terminal with service to Portoferraio on Elba go back even up to 500 years before Christ – the gateway to the Tuscan archipelago was always very important for the city on the Mediterranean, and today it is important for the yacht charter tourism in Tuscany.
