Hello,
My husband and I have been to the major sites in Italy and are interested in exploring some less crowded places such as hill towns in Tuscany. We thought it might be fun to add a beach or island destination as well. Has anyone been to Elba Island or have any tips on this area? We went to Naxos, Greece last year and loved it, but are super excited about getting back to Italy this Fall (late Sept or early Oct) and taking our time through smaller cities and possibly an island or beach destination. Swimming is not that important if weather is an issue, but being near the water in a vacation destination type place would be really a nice break for a few days. I was thinking about having 10 days or so - flying into Florence, spending a 4-5 days in hill towns, going to Elba Island for 2-3 days, and spending a couple days in Rome before we fly out.
Any suggestions or tips would be welcome and appreciated! Thank you
