Elba – something for everyone
The island of Elba offers more than you might think: from nature reserves and footpaths and bike trails through wooded mountain scenery, to archaeological museums. And there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy relaxing, spa treatments and excellent cuisine – the Hi Guide, to the best restaurants on the island, is full of suggestions.
Elba is the ideal, all round experience. Start the morning with a swim and snorkelling, for example, in the lovely bay of Sant’Andrea and watch as inquisitive fish swim alongside. In the afternoon, a trek in the woods along one of the many footpaths, such as the GTE – Grand Elba Crossing, which crosses the whole island and offers amazing views. Evening, time to relax with a cocktail in the welcoming, tastefully designed setting of a new hotel or boutique hotel, while watching the sun setting over Corsica.
