Q: What are the regulations for swimming on Giannutri?

At Giannutri, you can swim freely at Cala Maestra and Cala dello Spalmatoio, as well as in the marine areas classified as zone 2. However, swimming is prohibited in zone 1, an integral reserve: so don't assume that the whole coastline is accessible, and respect the signs and markers on site. Both coves are rocky; bring suitable shoes rather than expecting a big sandy beach. If you land on the island, the Park access ticket costs €2.50 per person; it is generally included in the ticket for the scheduled boats or excursions. Along the trail connecting the two coves, you can move around without a guide. To explore other land areas, access is limited to authorized trails and requires a Park guide. Finally, if you come with your own boat, the navigation and anchoring rules also depend on the marine zoning: check the current regulations before setting off. Services on the island are limited and mostly seasonal, so bring water, sun protection and everything you need for your swim.
