Elba in 2 days

Day One: Portoferraio

• Morning. We start by walking through the historic center of Portoferraio. Where there is so much to see, such as the Medici fortresses, the covered market and the Villa dei Mulini.
• Afternoon. After so much walking, it would be a good idea to indulge in a little rest. As it happens, near Portoferraio are some of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Elba: all easily accessible, they are Ghiaie, Padulella, Capo Bianco, Sansone and Enfola.
• Evening. There is no shortage of things to do in Portoferraio in the evening: dine in one of the small restaurants offering typical island dishes; have a drink and a chat in one of the many clubs; dance until dawn in one of Elba's two main discos.

Day Two: Capoliveri

• Morning. The second day begins with a visit to Capoliveri: worth seeing are Forte Focardo, the sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie, the apse of San Michele, and the beautiful Laconella beach.
• Afternoon. Mount Calamita is located a short distance from Capoliveri. Getting to the top on foot is not too challenging. From the top you will be able to embrace the whole island of Elba with your gaze.
• Evening. If you have booked the return ferry for the next day and thus still have the evening to spare, a ten-minute drive from Capoliveri is all it takes to Porto Azzurro for an evening of seafood dinner and a stroll along the picturesque waterfront.

One last piece of useful information: to get around the island of Elba you can either board your vehicle (car, motorcycle or camper) on the ferry or use the efficient bus system that, especially in summer, connects all the main towns on the island.
