How to get to the Island of Elba: road signs, planes, buses

Getting to the Island of Elba by car, by train, by plane or by bus

If you want to get to the Island of Elba you have to catch the ferry from Piombino Marittima, which you can easily reach by car, by train, or by bus. From here four sailing companies(Toremar, Moby Lines, Blu Navy and Corsica-Sardinia Ferries provide comfortable ferries that during the summer months cross over to and from Portoferraio, Rio Marina and Cavo every day practically all day.

The Piombino-Portoferraio crossing lasts a little more than an hour, more often than not one hour and a quarter.

In summer the Cosica-Sardinia Ferries Shipping Company also crosses from Portoferraio to Bastia, which takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

On the other hand, if you fly from most major European cities, you can enjoy the comfort of landing right at the Elba Airport in Marina di Campo.

On the Island of Elba there are no petrol stations that have LPG or methane gas for cars, so don't forget that when you cross over you must switch off your gas connection as soon as you board the ferry!

Suggestion from Infoelba: Coming to Elba without your car? No problem!
Thanks to the online booking system you can hire a scooter or an e-bike or a car which means you can go round the island just as you prefer and ......by whichever means of transport that best suits your finances!
