Details
Join us on our boat trip to Elba and discover on your own two beautiful coastal towns with an interesting history, Portoferraio and Porto Azzurro.
We will leave from Castigione della Pescaia and navigate nearby the Piombino Promontory. With a bit of luck, you might be able to see some dolphins swimming next to our boat! After approximately 2 hours we will reach Portoferraio, where you will have almost 3 hours to visit the town on your own: don't miss the charming old town or the nearby beach Spiaggia delle Ghiaie. Regarding lunch, you can choose to bring it from home, eat in a restaurant on Giglio or have lunch with us on the boat.
In the early afternoon, we will head to Porto Azzurro: you will have about 2 hours to visit this ancient Spanish town independently or have a refreshing swim at the nearby Barbarossa beach. Then we will set sail from Porto Azzurro and return to Castiglione delle Pescaia.
