Italy is brimming with vibrant offerings that draw a flock of tourists to the country annually. However, if you want to see the country in its truest form without compromising the quality of your itinerary, Elba is an underrated destination to suit your liking.
Elba is the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and is known as the old French Emperor Napoleon’s home base during his exile from 1814 to 1815. It is home to a long stretch of crystal-clear beaches that you won’t find anywhere else. Portoferraio, the island’s capital, is an excellent starting point before exploring the rest of Elba’s points of interest. The quaint town is steeped in fascinating history and features a scenic harbor where you can admire the pristine waters.
After a day out, retreat to the woods to completely appreciate Elba’s natural grandeur. Below are the top glamping spots in Elba, Italy.
