The area around
Location score 85/100The island's high point, Monte Capanne (1,018 m), is within the island and visible from much of the eastern shore; a cable car from Marciana runs to its summit. The cluster sits on the Tyrrhenian coast inside the small-island landscape of the Tuscan Archipelago, with beaches and rocky shorelines and typical Mediterranean maquis within a short distance. The area is inside the Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano, which includes land and marine protection zones around Elba. A cable car to Monte Capanne is accessible from Marciana; the drive from Campo nell'Elba to Marciana is a winding mountain route of roughly 30–50 minutes. The island's principal town and ferry hub, Portoferraio, provides ferry links to the mainland (Piombino) and services; Marina di Campo (on the same municipality) has a small airport (La Pila) with seasonal flights. The island is known for Napoleon's 1814–15 exile (Portoferraio), a long history of iron-mining on parts of the island, and local activities such as hiking, diving/snorkelling and small-scale wine and fishing production.
