Take a vacation on a gem – Elba! According to legend, Venus lost seven gems from her diadem while bathing in the Tyrrhenian Sea – the largest being Elba, with the six smaller ones becoming the surrounding islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. In our travel guide "Elba," now in its eighth edition, Sabine Becht presents all facets of this jewel over 280 pages with 162 color photos.

For more than 30 years, Sabine Becht has been exploring the island and the archipelago. She has thoroughly researched and experienced everything on-site for you. With 40 maps, including a city map of Portoferraio, you will always be well-oriented. Nine hikes and a mountain bike tour allow you to experience the island in depth.

Numerous short essays provide interesting background information. Sabine Becht's insider tips on sights, beaches, restaurants, and accommodations highlight particularly worthwhile destinations. Ecologically, regionally, and sustainably operating businesses are marked.

The industry service Buchprofile writes about our Elba travel guide: "The immensely popular vacation destination Elba has been honored with a highly thoughtful and knowledgeable volume."

Overview of Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago: The island's capital, Portoferraio, with Napoleon's villa, marina, museums, and beaches, invites evening strolls. Southwest of there, in San Martino, lies Napoleon's summer residence, nestled in lush greenery. In the northwest, bays line up to the rugged coastline of the secluded Capo d'Enfola. The rocky peninsula in the west is a paradise for nature lovers. A panoramic road reveals the spectacular cliffs. The highest mountain on the island, Monte Capanne, dominates the west.

Dense chestnut forests on its northern side make it particularly appealing.
