The colorful little port of Cavo is a great place to have a snack in the shade of the palm trees while enjoying the view of the boats swaying on the water.

Absolutely to stop for a photo, a beautiful view of the gulf of Portoferraio up to Mount Capanne. On clear days you can see all Corsica in the background!

November 3, 2024,Elba 2024 - day 3 - da Capoliveri a Portoferraio

Be careful in the town of Nisporto - constant slope of 15% for about …
