Tirrenia Holidays

A small Mediterranean town on the coast of the Ligurian Sea, Tirrenia's only a half-hour drive from Pisa. It's got some prime strips of beach, and the fertile landscape grows forests of fresh-scented pines. In this town you'll find funfairs, theme parks, golf courses and some crazy-good nightlife.

In the middle of the Tuscan coastline's Tirrenia's 10-kilometre stretch of cream-coloured sand. This Blue Flag award-winning beach is flanked on one side by the blue Ligurian and tall trees on the other, giving it a tucked-away feel – like you're on a secluded paradise island.

Tirrenia's got loads of thrills in one small package. Head over to the waterpark, play some arcade games, watch a circus act or have a round of golf – at two golf courses. Also nearby's San Rossore National Park, great for hiking and within striking distance of Pisa's leaning tower.

There's some vibrant nightlife here, with clubs, bars and eateries all within reach. Try some tender tartare or salmone marinato at a swanky restaurant, washed down with a bottle of Chianti. Pop into shops for some retail therapy, or squeeze in next to locals to watch a live football match.
