Make Yourself a Gift with a Sea od Sports, Sun and Relax... April-May on the ISLAND OF ELBA

The winter was long, gray and hard? Now is the time to change. Give yourself a break .. with a trip on Elba island!

Rain, smog, stress ... the winter is long and heavy, but think positive ... .there is now very little time before the bright and beautiful season of the year: the summer! So .. why don’t you give yourself a break with a small and healthy taste of summer, spending on Elba few days between April and May?

In this period the island is more beautiful than ever: the colors of the sea are wonderfully blue and the slopes of the hills are incredibly green, with bright yellow tufts of gorse. No coincidence that the photos of postcards are taken by professional photographers in this season!

For sports enthusiasts, from biking to hiking, the temperature is ideal: you can do amazing walks along the many trails of the island, discovering its many natural wonders, without being too fatigued from the heat. These days there are also many organized excursions by Elba Walking Festival, with expert guides who will tell you the isle, step by step. We also suggest the visit to the Castle of Volterraio newly renovated ... that offers a unique and a blast from the past... and the many paths of the western slope between Patresi and Pomonte.

However, those who prefer the first sea ... here you will find sandy beaches, or white pebbles or rocks ready to welcome you, just as if it were already summer. So .. bring swimsuit, towel and sunscreen. Download FREE MAP OF BEACHES OF THE ISLAND OF ELBA. Who likes diving, thanks to clear water and few boats on this period, will see beautiful backdrops with the numerous wrecks and a variety of fish.

If you simply want to enjoy a few days off, just to unwind from the hustle and the greyness of the city, you can visit the most beautiful places on the island, as Portoferraio, Marina di Campo, Marciana Marina, Capoliveri and Porto Azzurro or our ancient villages rich history and tradition as St. Ilario, St. Piero, Poggio, Marciana, Rio Marina, Rio nell'Elba and Cavo. While walking quietly through the streets, you will meet lovely local shops with interesting proposals for your shopping: from 'handicrafts to precious stones, from souvenirs to' clothing, from accessories to perfume ... as the special fragrances by Acqua dell'Elba, brand that since years exports the wonderful island of Elba image throughout Italy and abroad.

The Elba Island is so beautiful to see, as good as "taste" and then ... during your stay treat yourself to a lunch or dinner at one of our restaurants. You love the fresh fish or grilled meat, you prefer a seaside terrace or a quiet little restaurant in the hills, traditional or modern cuisine revisited ... you will certainly find the chef for you!
Also beginning in mid-April start many events and appointments as ELBALEATICO (April 17), Elba Tricolore Rally (21-23 April), Elbaleatico Granfondo (24-30 April), the Island of Elba Marathon (May 8).

Reach Elba is quick and easy: from April 15th will start again the BLU NAVY, the shipping company that offers the best rates to Elba from Piombino, in addition to the usual trips of the other carriers. The ferry ride takes only 1 hour, just long enough to take some pictures and have a coffee on board. And if you do not want to go by car, you can also decide to visit the island by renting a car or scooter directly in Portoferraio just a few meters from the landing.

Alternatively, you can also fly to Elba all year. On April 16th it will also start the summer schedule of flights by Silverair ELBA, which connects LA PILA  Airport in Marina di Campo with Milan Linate, Pisa, Florence and from June also Lugano.
