Lying close to the ancient Via Volterrana and Via Francigena routes, Greve in Chianti has always been a town which has welcomed traders and travellers.
You can get a real feel for the town by heading to Piazza Mercato, where you can rub shoulders with the locals in the historic heart of this important meeting place for the valley.
Another way to get a feel for the past is by visiting the convent of San Francesco, its castles and the charming mediaeval villages. Places where you feel like you have stepped back in time.
