What to do on the Island of Elba if you're bored with the beach

You're in for a big surprise if you think the Island of Elba is only sea and coasts, wait till you've seen the inland

Even though it is only 224 square metres, there is something for everybody: aquariums and mines that might interest children, exhibitions, museums and places of historical interest for art and culture fans, scenic, nature and archeological view points for those who love a holiday in the open air, and farms and wine cellars for those who enjoy good food and wine.

If you want to be carefree, you can also rely on expert guides who will take you along the paths round the island and show you the most beautiful and hidden places; or you can go on a motor boat trip along the rugged coasts of the Island of Elba or to the other islands of the Archipelago like Pianosa, Capraia and Giglio.
