The seven islands of the Tuscan Archipelago are scattered along the coast between Livorno and Grosseto, each of them being a true gem of the Mediterranean, especially the Island of Elba.
A wonderful land with vibrant colors, Elba offers unique emotions. Its coastline is a paradise for sea lovers and marine life enthusiasts: it is perfect for activities such as snorkeling, sailing, and diving. The hinterland is equally captivating with vineyards perched on the sea, castles, archaeological sites, and medieval villages.
The main embarkation and disembarkation point for ferries to Elba is Piombino, a delightful town located about an hour from Tirrenia. The ferry service operates year-round and is provided by at least four ferry companies (Blu Navy, Elba Ferries, Moby, and Toremar), offering frequent connections throughout the day.
To cover the approximately 10 km that separate the island from the mainland takes less than an hour. The main docking points are on the eastern coast of Elba, the one closest to the mainland, including the locations of Cavo, Portoferraio, and Rio Marina. Once there, it’s possible to continue sailing towards the smaller islands of Pianosa, Giglio, and Giannutri.
