When thinking about Italian islands, names like Sardinia, Sicily, or Capri will probably spring to mind first. Whilst these are sitting in the Mediterranean Sea, we will introduce you to an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Tuscany.

Elba, or Isola d’Elba in Italian, is the largest of seven islands that form the Tuscan archipelago, located just 10 miles east of the Tuscan town of Piombino, which is also the departure port for the ferry, the only way to travel to Elba. There is a small airport on the island, but it is not frequented by popular airlines.
