Capraia, Tuscany

Capraia is a small volcanic island in the Tuscan Archipelago, 64 kilometres west of Livorno and only 31 kilometres east of Corsica — closer to France than to Italy. The 19-square-kilometre island is the surface of a 4-million-year-old volcanic cone, with its highest point at 447 metres and an arid Mediterranean scrubland interior. There is a single settlement — the village and harbour at Porto di Capraia on the northeast coast — and a single road that climbs from the port to the upper village. The rest of the island is national park, with a 60-kilometre coast of cliffs and rock coves accessible only by boat or footpath. Capraia held a high-security prison from 1873 to 1986, which left much of the island uninhabited. Capraia is 2 hours from Bastia (Corsica) and 4 hours from Livorno. Season runs May through October.
