Elba

Elba is best known to sun and sand seekers for the kilometers of beaches that border its craggy shore. It is recognized to history enthusiasts as the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte's residence and it's also is one of the best islands in Italy

Elba is an island off the coast of Tuscany that may be accessed by boat from Piombino, on the Tuscan coast south of Livorno. It boasts over 150 beaches. They range from huge lengths of sandy beach to little pebble-beach coves. Some, like Sansone, offer shallow, gentle slopes that are ideal for families. SCUBA diving is popular in the seas off the sea cliffs.

Aside from the beaches, there are other activities to do in this area. Hikers appreciate the island's paths, and if you prefer dizzying thrills, take the basket-like cable car to the peak of Monte Capanne. Napoleon's Villa dei Molini in Portoferraio and his summer hideaway, Villa Napoleone on Monte San Martino, are two of the most popular destinations to visit.
