Monte Argentario, a delightful peninsula, is connected to the mainland by three spits of land, creating two beautiful lagoons: Laguna di Ponente on the west and Laguna di Levante on the east. The main villages on Monte Argentario are Porto Santo Stefano, facing north, and Porto Ercole, facing south. Embarking on the panoramic road, Strada panoramica, from Porto Santo Stefano offers breathtaking views of the picturesque coast and the Tuscan Archipelago. Monte Argentario shares a border with Orbetello, a charming town located on the middle dam between the two lagoons.
