My holiday in Elba

If you have only a few days to visit the Island of Elba, it's necessary to optimize your time as much as possible: there are so many things to do and see on Elba that even an entire month wouldn't be enough to truly get to know it!

However, work and daily commitments often leave you with only a few vacation days... in this case, precise planning and our tips become valuable ingredients to get a taste of the island's most beautiful places and beaches.

Visiting the Island of Elba in one day or three days means being willing to be guided by Infoelba, but also by your heart: as soon as you see the first views, golden beaches, and crystal-clear sea, the desire to explore the rest of the island will be overwhelming and insatiable.

We will give you a detailed itinerary on what to visit in one or more days, by car or by motorbike, with routes and travel times, so that when it's time to leave the island, you'll be able to say you've seen the most important and beautiful places on the Island of Elba.

We are sure that, looking at Elba from the ship as it fades into the sunset, this mysterious land will make you promise to return to discover and savor an island that fulfills every desire.

Infoelba recommends: Wine & Food Experience: a new proposal to discover the Tenuta delle Ripalte with wine tourism experiences.
