Best known as the site of Napoleon’s exile, Elba’s long history stretches back to pre-Roman times, when it was settled by Ligures and then Etruscans. It’s Tuscany’s biggest island and Italy’s third-largest, offering a great mix of options both cultural (like hilltop towns and castles) and recreational (like hiking, biking, swimming, diving and beaching). There’s an airport at Marina di Campo, but most arrive by ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (the biggest town), Rio Marina or Porto Azzurro.
Capoliveri is a comune (municipality) on the island of Elba in Italy. Administratively it is part of the Province of Livorno in the Tuscany region, located about 130 kilometres (81 mi) southwest of Florence and about 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Livorno.
