How to visit Pianosa

[ing index="1" params="format=m&class=image-l"][/img]You can go to Pianosa at any time of the year and appreciate the beauty it has to offer all year round. Although from Elba it takes a little less than one hour to get to Pianosa by ferry, unless you have special permission to go there you will have to stop at least one sea mile from the island, otherwise you will have to join up with a guided tour.

Whatever time of the year you decide to go to the Island of Pianosathere is a Toremar ferry every Tuesday that comes from Piombino and then leaves from Rio Marina,

while during the summer months the Aquavision company runs daily crossings from the port in Marina di Campo.

Once on the island you can choose from several daily tours for touriststhat you will do along with the authorized Guides: on foot, by bus, by horse and carriage and by mountain bike,or you can go across the island and see how it used to be when it was a prison island.

In good weather you can go to Cala Giovanna for a swim, the sea around Pianosa is very shallow and crystal clear so it is heaven on earth for snorkelling lovers, who at the same time will love to see the rich, sea fauna on the seabed.

Over the past years, thanks to the Park Authorities, both expert scuba divers and small groups of divers are allowed to go scuba diving but they must be accompanied by an environmental guide; this is their chance to discover one of the least known and most secret seas in the Mediterranean.

If you wish access both to the actual island and also its territory you must pay an entrance fee, the cost of which will be added to the price of your ferry ticket.
