Next to Montalto di Castro.

The famous Etruscan center of Vulci (active around 800 BC), containing a wealth of museums, tombs and frescoed walls.Open all days 10 am- 18pm, Tuesday open in the afternoon Beginning to expand in the 8th century BC, Vulci reached a floruit in the 6th century BC. It came to command Orbetello, Saturnia, Pescia, Sovana, Castro, Pitigliano and Marsiliana. It was a maritime power, with a geography similar to that of Rome; that is, located some miles up a river, but close enough to the sea to be a major maritime power. Many Greeks came to live there.The port of Volci was at Regae. The origin of the name is not known. An Indo-European root can be found, but, if valid, it is most likely an Italic name assigned by the Romans who conquered the place. Or, it could be a Latinization of an Etruscan name.
Originally the Etruscans were co-founders of Rome and continued to dominate it. Vulci had some influence on early Rome, as Servius Tullius and the Vibenna brothers (Caile and Avle Vipinas) were from Vulci. At Vulci he was a private citizen, Macstarna. Their names and representations appear on a fresco in the Francois Tomb. After the population of Rome had become predominantly Italic, the Etruscan kings were overthrown and the Romans fought a long war to reduce Etruria to their dominion. Tiberius Coruncanius triumphed over the people of Vulsinii and Volci in 280 BC. and the colony of Cosa was founded in their territory. The Romans took the coast from them, cutting the base of their power. This seems to have led to the decline and eventual abandonment of the city. Volci does not seem to have been of great importance in the remaining Roman period, even though the Romans pushed the Via Aurelia through it in 240 BC. A surviving milestone gives the distance to Rome as 70 milia passuum.

The beach of Feniglia, next to Porto Ercole,  is a strip of sand 7 Km long connecting the Argentario to the mainland. The sand is fine and pure. There are a few bathing establishments and  for the most part the beach is free. If you like walking you can find isolated points in the summer too. The entire beach is flanked by a beautiful pine forest known as the Feniglia Dune Nature Reserve, which is a protected natural.

Saturnia is part of the city of Manciano, on the Maremma hills that extend over the province of Grosseto. An ancient Etruscan town, with its medieval walls and remains of an old Roman road, Saturnia is known for its hot springs dating back to Roman times and still working today. The sulphurous water at a temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius has renowned therapeutic properties, effective for the skin, the respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system. Sulphurous water gushes out of the ground at a rate of 800 liters per second, which guarantees the purity of the water. It is considered one of the best thermal baths in the world and combines luxury with health, relaxation, and pleasure, thanks also to the landscape that the valley of Saturnia offers to its visitors.

Saturnia is famous among tourists especially for the natural falls at approximately 1 km from the Thermal Baths. All year long, even in the winter when the moon is full, access to the hot pool is free. A striking experience, especially if followed by a good dinner in local restaurants, for instance in Montemerano and in Manciano, where many pleasant spots can be found.
