Crete Senesi

43° 10.618', 11° 32.734'

After lunch in Siena, explore the remarkable Crete Senesi, a 300-square-mile area south of Siena whose winding country roads afford breathtaking vistas of hills and woodland. It is best known for its ocher soil, made popular by Renaissance painters, as well as its Cinta Senese pigs, whose meat is a world-renowned delicacy. Don’t miss the stunning Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore.
