Elba

Don’t let the white beaches and turquoise waters fool you: the largest of the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago offers visitors much more than just a beach holiday. Its unique history, from the ancient Etruscan mines to Napoleon Bonaparte’s stay, makes this a destination full of historical and interesting sights. Nature reigns supreme, from the spectacular landscapes that can be enjoyed from Monte Capanne to the sunsets on the island’s white beaches. But while summertime is spent at the seaside, moving from one beach to another from one day to the next, the evenings and night life of the island’s towns are always varied, making it an ideal holiday destination for every type of traveller.
