You surely know this place because it’s really, really famous. Famous for the beauty of the coast, of the nature, and of the villages. This year, the time has finally come to visit it. Is it your first time on Elba Island? Here there are five great tips for you.

1. Book the ferry tickets in advance

The first tip is: book the ferry tickets in advance. The reason is this: you will take advantage of the offers and, above all, you will depart in the day that you prefer the most.

Don’t worry, the ferries to Elba Island depart every day and throughout the day: the solutions don’t lack. But, especially in summer, we recommend you to book in advance, so to avoid any problem.

2. Bring a car on the ferry

A car, or a motorcycle, or a motorhome. Because, in this way, you will get around Sardinia and won’t loose any of the must-see places. A great idea especially if you are planning a vacation with the children.

Would you like, for this vacation, don’t use a car to visit Sardinia? No problem, Elba Island gives you the solution you need: the public bus service.

3. Stay in the main towns and villages

The main towns on Elba Island are:

• Portoferraio;
• Capoliveri;
• Porto Azzurro.

Portoferraio is also one of the ports where ferries dock. We suggest you to stay in one of these three towns because they offer so many services and facilities, are located in strategic positions, and are easy to reach. In addition to this, using the public transport, you can reach every part of the island.

4. Choose suitable clothes

In summer, although temperatures are always pleasant and rainy days are really few, the evenings might be cold. A jacket and/or a cardigan are excellent and practical solutions.

In spring and summer, in addition to jacket and cardigan, don’t forget a pair of trekking shoes: in these two seasons, hiking on Elba Island is really wonderful.

In winter, as you can guess, you need sweaters and coats.
