Elba island coasts to summits
6 day walking self-guided tour through the unknown of the island
Both Venus, the roman goddess of beauty, and Napoleon, the all-powerful French emperor, chose Elba as an excellent destination for exploring picturesque fishing villages, rugged coastlines, mountain ridges, and idyllic sandy beaches.
We have no difficulty believing this choice, but we want to introduce you to the lesser-known side of the island, where you can appreciate panoramic views from elevated vantage points surrounded by the scents of rosemary and myrtle.
Medieval villages perched on the sea, fortresses and lighthouses are waiting to be discovered, and with each passing day, more and more striking views open up: from the Mediterranean to Corsica, through the Tuscan archipelago to the islands of Capraia and Montecristo.
The sea is always close at hand and invites a refreshing dip to end the day's walk.
