Just 10 km from the Tuscan coast, the Island of Elba is the largest of the islands in the Tuscan Archipelago and the third largest in Italy by extension (224 km²).
With 147 km of coastline, the island offers an infinite variety of beaches: sandy, pebbly, hidden coves, and sheer cliffs. Behind them, the majestic Mount Capanne (1,019 m) offers spectacular views and trails immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, ideal for trekking and outdoor adventures.
The Tuscan Archipelago National Park is the largest protected marine area in Europe: over 6,000 km² between the sea and seven islands, Elba, Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Gorgona, Giglio, and Giannutri and numerous islets. Each island has its own geological and landscape identity: from the limestone coasts of Pianosa and Giannutri to the granite cliffs of Montecristo, up to the woods and reliefs of Elba. The vegetation is typically Mediterranean, with fragrant expanses of myrtle, strawberry tree, and heather. Numerous migratory species populate the sky, while corals, dolphins, and sometimes sperm whales and fin whales live in the seabeds.
Today, the island is divided into eight municipalities: from Portoferraio, the historic and cultural heart, to Capoliveri, lively and picturesque; from Marciana and Marciana Marina, with their medieval glimpses, to Porto Azzurro, dominated by Spanish fortresses. Each village preserves a different soul, among colorful alleys, lively squares, and sea views.
