Giglio Porto is a small coastal town on Giglio Island in Tuscany, Italy. It serves as a gateway to nearby dive sites in the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a handful of local dive centers that cater to visiting divers and day-trippers. Access is via ferry from Porto Santo Stefano or the mainland, and conditions are typically calm in sheltered bays with clear Mediterranean water. Nearby sites include wall drops and reefs around the island suitable for varied skill levels, though the island is a quiet, less-visited spot compared to larger Italian dive hubs. For divers, the town provides practical access to equipment rental, briefings, and boat departures to surrounding reefs and walls.
