Renowned for its stunning sandy beaches, azure waters, and breathtaking views of the Apuan Alps, this charming destination attracts visitors seeking both relaxation and sophistication. While its name translates to “Fort of the Marbles,” reflecting its historical role as a marble transportation hub, Forte dei Marmi has evolved into an exclusive resort town that exudes elegance and charm. Apart from its natural beauty, the town boasts an array of high-end boutiques and the whole area is also renowned for artisans and producers working for the fashion sector.
