The Elba island is one of the most popular seaside destinations in the Mediterranean. Turquoise waters, spectacular granite mountains and an excellent culinary tradition have put it on the maps of European tourists. Elba is versatile because it adapts to many types of tourism.

It's bustling with life in the summer but is pleasantly quiet in June and September. It boasts beaches of fine sand or pebbles, a seabed rich in marine life and mountains to explore on foot and by mountain bike. The picture is completed by the small villages scattered along the coast, the Napoleonic residences and the iron mines.
