Holiday on the Island of Elba, what to do and where to stay for a weekend
The Island of Elba is the third largest island in Italy and is known as the Pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago.
Its particular beauty, the incredible colors of its sunsets, the charm of its beaches and its vegetation have made this area known and appreciated zhroughout the world.
Famous mainly for its coasts, along which there are pebble beaches, white gravel, rocks and sandy coves, Elba lends itself very well to any type of holiday.
In fact, both the guests who decide to visit it and the lucky ones who have the privilege of living there are spoiled for choice. But the island is not just beaches and paths, but is a combination of culture, history, nature and sport. For this reason it is certainly the ideal destination for any type of holiday, whether short or long.
For those who will only have one weekend available and who, therefore, will have to make a careful selection of places to visit, there is no need to worry. The stay will be equally memorable, thanks to the advice and assistance of Goelba & Prenotaelba.
The first day
First of all, we advise you to start from Portoferraio, the main center of the island, which has places rich in unmissable history, such as Napoleon's villas and the Medici fortresses. Absolutely worth visiting are the wonderful white pebble beaches, the jewel in the crown of this stretch of coast. Furthermore, it is an ideal place to experience unforgettable sunsets.
The second day
Equally fascinating will be the village of Capoliveri, with its narrow streets and breathtaking views, and the heart of the island's mining tradition, namely Rio nell'Elba and Rio Marina. For the evening, however, the winning solution will be the picturesque town of Porto Azzurro, full of excellent restaurants and night clubs.
The Third Day: ending on a high note.
An unmissable visit must be Marina di Campo: the most popular town for holidays, loved above all for the convenience of its beaches and numerous services, but also for the beautiful and unique beaches of Cavoli and Fetovaia. The perfect ending could be a walk along the village of Marciana Marina. Municipality that will give you the perfect ending to an unforgettable weekend, which will offer you a taste of the countless wonders that this Pearl has to offer. We have no doubt that, once on the return ferry, you will already be planning a second holiday.
