Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE COAST

Capel Rosso’s cliffline and a seaside swim

The route threads down to the island’s southern promontory at the Faro del Capel Rosso, where riders can pause for a swim and take in wide sea vistas before lunch at the lighthouse.

THE ROUTE

Sustainable mobility around a compact island

E‑bikes make the island’s terrain approachable, linking Giglio Porto, the Faro del Capel Rosso and Giglio Castello in a single loop with guided context from an environmental expert.

THE VILLAGE

Giglio Castello: history and free time

After the lighthouse stop the tour delivers you to Giglio Castello for an afternoon of exploration and independent time before returning to Giglio Porto to hand back the e‑bikes.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The outing unfolds as a deliberate full day: rendezvous and e‑bike pick up in Giglio Porto, a steady ride to the Faro del Capel Rosso for a swim and packed lunch, a mid‑afternoon arrival and free time in Giglio Castello, then a relaxed return and e‑bike return at the port — all paced and interpreted by an environmental guide.
