Elba

Elba is a Mediterranean island in Tuscany, Italy. The island of Elba is the largest remaining stretch of land from the ancient tract that once connected the Italian peninsula to Corsica. The northern coast faces the Ligurian Sea; the eastern coast the Piombino Channel; the southern coast the Tyrrhenian Sea; while the Corsica channel divides the western tip of the Island from neighbouring Corsica.

Go to Elba by ferry - taking your car, as it a must to explore the entire island. The ships start from Piombino.

Napoleon was banished to the island and both of his homes are available to tour. You can hike,bicycle, swim or walk around the plaza at night with the locals. Incredible beauty - many,many small towns set on hilltops. Many castles. Flowers galore and the interior is full of old, little viewed churches.

Elba is a touristic Island and there are lot of accommodations available, from cheap camp-grounds to luxury resorts.
