Elba not to be missed

Elba. The moment you hear this name beautiful photographs of the island come straight to mind: the most beautiful beaches, the fascinating colours of the mines, the huge fortresses that stand out in the heart of nature or in the town centres, the truly characteristic churches and sanctuaries.

No one doubts the beauty of Elba and if you are here on holiday you will see that the island offers you wonderful locations just waiting to be discovered as well as places and things to visit. If you are in search of new emotions you will be pleased to know that precisely on this true jewel in the Tuscan Archipelago there is a wide choice of things to do that will fill your heart with unique, unforgettable memories and that whether you want a holiday rich in culture or sport you can be sure of both relaxing and having a good time.

If you want to put your adventure and exploration skills to the test then we suggest you take part in an excursion in search of minerals. Just wear a helmet and bring a torch with you, then all you need to do is first climb into an army jeep and leave the main road and head for the mines on the island then later go underground to the one and only underground mine in Elba.

You can, if you prefer, do some trekking or go on a donkey ride surrounded by the scents and colours Mother Nature has to offer, or, if you feel full of energy, you might fancy following the same routes by mountain bike.

Yet another, unforgettable sports activity to do while on holiday in Elba, especially if you are a sea fan, is a kayak excursion that enables you to explore  coves and grottos along the coast, : or go on a  boat excursion, or you might even fancy taking your first breath under water and diving deep down to discover the hidden treasures under the sea.

And last but not least, if you choose to taste the many cuisine delicacies the island has to offer and down them with a well deserved glass of wine, then we suggest trying a food and wine tour.

In short, if you want to experience a new, different Elba that is both exciting and adventurous, you can choose from any of the many spectacular and enjoyable experiences. Below you can read all our suggestions of experiences that are an absolute must on holiday.
