Elba, 2008

The largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago combines history, lifestyle and a unique island charm. Elba has an excellent tourist infrastructure and tends to be visited by more affluent travellers. Smartly turned-out towns with bars, restaurants and shops, great beaches with water sports, and a mountainous, quieter hinterland with hiking and mountain bike trails – within a manageable area, it offers a diverse range of options for relaxation, activities, nightlife and family life.
