Cala dei Santi

Drop anchor here at Cala dei Santi, the oldest known site on the Argentario headland — a limestone cave just above the waterline has yielded archaeological finds proving human presence here going back millennia. The setting is dramatic, with the cave entrance sitting about 5 meters above sea level in the cliffs below Punta Avoltore, and the underwater world beneath you is just as compelling, making this a favorite with divers. It's the kind of place that feels significant the moment you see it.
