Elba Island

Elba is the largest of the Tuscan Archipelago, a 224-square-kilometre island 10 kilometres off the Tuscan mainland and famous as Napoleon's exile from 1814 to 1815 — his two villas and the harbour fort he built still stand at Portoferraio, the island capital. The coast is iron-mining country: red and silver mineral cliffs, with a long history of extraction that lasted from Etruscan times until 1981. Beaches sit in coves all around the island — Sansone and Capo Bianco have white shingle, Cavoli and Fetovaia have sand. The interior holds Monte Capanne, a 1,019-metre peak with a cable car from Marciana. Elba is 90 minutes from Piombino. Season runs May through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
