Two Sunny Weeks on Elba Island!

We had this destination planned more years. However we visited this island until this year.

The first adventure was waiting for us at our arrival. The slip road to our accommodation had such steep elevation that my love stepped out of the car at our first exit. For that reason, views on the Tyrrhenian sea from our terrace was beautiful. The advantage of this island is in distances. Although transfers were too slow as it is on each island, everything was close from us. Actually the highest mountainous area with its highest peak Monte Capanne. That is the reason why a lot of people call this island “Small Corsica”. Biking to all closer beaches was pleasant cheer of our stay on this island. However when we wanted to do some biking trip we had to wake up at 5 a.m. morning. The big experience was our trip in the capital city Portoferraio. Picturesque Tuscan villages are beautiful for evening walks. In order to be some change we got wet on our last biking trip.

By the way after we came back to home we read there are seven Tuscan islands between Ligurian Sea and Tyrrhenian Sea called as “Arcipelago Toscano” as well.
Well, we could visit them … :o)
