Day 3 Portoferraio - Elba Island (France)
Day in Portoferraio (Elba Island, Italy). In the heart of the Tuscan archipelago, Elba’s rugged outline shelters many unspoilt coves. Portoferraio is the island’s oldest district, and the surrounding countryside offers a succession of breathtaking sea views. Elba is most famous for being Napoleon’s home in exile in 1814. Follow in his footsteps as you wind your way through the white houses protected by two Medicean forts to the lovely Palazzino dei Mulini where the Emperor lived.
Day 4 Lerici (Italy)
Opposite Portovenere, the small medieval town of Lerici (Italy) at the eastern end of the Gulf of Poets is dominated by an imposing castle built by the Pisans in the 13th century. From here you will venture out to discover the Cinque Terre National Park. Five jewel-like villages combining medieval architecture with a touch of the Renaissance are nestled into a dramatic landscape that is truly without equal.
