Municipalities and Villages

From an administrative point of view, Elba is now divided into seven municipalities: Portoferraio, Campo nell’Elba, Rio, Marciana Marina, Marciana, Capoliveri and Porto Azzurro as well as numerous villages that are often even older than the nearby coastal villages on the mainland, thanks to the tourist boom . The Elban culture can still be “breathed” in the villages today. You can discover ancient dishes and partake in some popular customs.

The oldest villages are Capoliveri, Marciana, San Piero and Sant’Ilario.

Also worth a visit are the maritime centers with their marvelous marinas, Marciana Marina, Porto Azzurro, Portoferraio and Rio Marina.

For those who love the sea and sandy beaches, we recommend Marina di Campo, Procchio, La Biodola and Lacona instead.

For tourists who want to have fun, need to visit Cavoli and the beaches of the Costa del Sole.
