Outdoor & Bike: the Active Island
Exploring nature at a slow pace or on two wheels. With its still mild temperatures, June is the perfect time to experience Elba outdoors.

Beaches and Villages: early summer Elba
In June, the beaches of Elba Island offer incredibly clear waters and the longest days of the year for enjoying the sun until late. But the real magic of this month begins in the late afternoon: when the air cools down, we suggest you leave the coast to explore the historic hillside villages, such as Poggio, Marciana, Capoliveri, Rio, San Piero or Sant’Ilario. You’ll find breezy squares, artisan stores and the most authentic atmosphere on the island.
