Elba island

Island Elba, Italy

*Elba, Italy's third largest island and Napoleon's late home is located off the Tuscan coast.It is somewhat overrun by package travel, but with 90 miles of coastline, action-packed holiday villages and loads of sandy beaches, it's still a great beach holiday destination, especially for families. For more solitude try the untouched island of Capraia, 30 km off Elba.

**Ponza, in the Pontine Islands, is one of few resorts to escape the tourist plague, with some of Italy's most splendid beaches, among them Chiaia di Luna, or the rocky cove of Piscine Naturali for sheltered swimming. There are some good dive sites around its islets, particularly Palmarola.
