Elba, the third largest island in Italy, is inextricably linked to Napoleon Bonaparte, who spent his short exile here in 1814/15 — his residences in Portoferraio are now museums. But Elba offers much more than history: crystal-clear water in over 150 coves and beaches, wild romantic mountain landscapes up to 1,019 meters high, and a mining tradition that dates back to the Etruscans.
Portoferraio, the capital, welcomes visitors with a powerful Medici fortress and a charming harbor. The most beautiful beaches are Sansone and Sorgente (white pebbles, crystal-clear water), Cavoli and Fetovaia (sandy beaches), as well as the black Spiaggia di Terranera — a former ore mine, whose dark sand creates a surreal contrast in the turquoise water.
The mining museum in Rio Marina and the mineral beaches showcase Elba's geological wealth: hematite, pyrite, and even tourmalines can be found. The Monte Capanne cable car takes hikers and nature lovers to the highest peak with panoramic views as far as Corsica. The island is a paradise for mountain bikers and divers. Culinary highlights include Cacciucco (fish stew), Schiaccia Briaca (cake with Aleatico wine), and the sweet Aleatico dell’Elba DOCG. The ferry from Piombino (Tuscany) takes only an hour.
