| The nearest beaches to Florence are Viareggio and Versilia? The best beaches are, instead, along all the southern coasts of Tuscany (Maremma) and in Liguria at "Le 5 Terre"? The "funniest beaches" are along the Adriatic coasts, especially at Rimini and Riccione (Emilia Romagna), where you can find parties all year long? |
