About Italy

Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula situated in the Mediterranean Sea at the bottom of Western Europe, with the Tyrrhenian Sea to the West, Ionian Sea to the South and Adriatic Sea to the East. Italy is the fifth most visited country in the world and contains more World Heritage Sites than any other country. Although Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence are the top tourist destinations in Italy, the country’s rich collections of art, culture and literature from many different periods and regions make it impossible to judge on where the most interesting location is. With around four thousand miles of coastline, with countless gulfs, inlets, and long sandy beaches, Italy is truly adapted to the vacation lovers every need. Coastal cities with their sea resorts and awesome beaches are easily reachable by car with a variety of ferries and vessels large and small ready to sail you there.

About Elba

Italy’s third largest island, Elba makes up the majority of the Tuscan Archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Napoleon’s exile to Elba originally put the island on the map, but today, tourists come here for the incredibly clear and blue waters, stunning beaches and outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking across the beautiful terrain. Also, as part of the largest marine park in Europe, it’s a great spot for diving, with an abundance of rich sea beds and colourful fish. Some of the top attractions include the numerous archaeological museums, impressive battlements and fortresses and the beautiful former residences of Napoleon, Palazzina dei Mulini. Elba has a few ports in the northwest region, so it’s within easy reach by ferry from mainland Italy and the surrounding islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. There are plenty of ferry operators to choose from, all offering fast and regular crossings.
