Island Attractions In Tuscany

  • 1. Giglio Island Isola Del Giglio

The island is one of seven that form the Tuscan Archipelago, lying within the Arcipelago Toscano National Park. Giglio means lily in Italian, and though the name would appear consistent with the insignia of Medici Florence, it derives from Aegilium, Goat Island, a Latin transliteration of the Greek word for little goat . In 2012, the cruise ship Costa Concordia foundered off the coast of the island.
