===Background===
+
-
Elba is the largest of the islands in Italy’s so-called Tuscan archipelago and the third largest overall after Sicily and Sardinia.  Situated 30 miles east of the Corsican port of Bastia, the north-east tip of the island is only five miles from the commercial harbour of Piombino on the Italian mainland.  Most of the island is mountainous, culminating in the 1019 metre high peak of Monte Capanne in the west, except for the central belt where the principal harbour of Portoferraio is situated on the northern coast.  The island was much coveted in ancient times, firstly by the Etruscans and later by the Romans, for its major iron ore deposits (hence Portoferraio).  By the 17th century the excellent natural harbour of Portoferraio attracted the attention of the navies of France, Spain, Italy and finally England, which briefly seized the island at the close of the 18th century.  Elba’s enduring fame, however, derives from the exile here from May 1814 to February 1815 of the defeated Napoleon Bonaparte, whose Villa dei Mulini in Portoferraio and summer residence of Villa Napoleonica di San Martino five km SW of the town are now museums.  Today Elba is a thriving tourist island, invariably heaving with Italian and foreign tourists during late July and August, its hotels full to bursting point.  For the cruising yachtsman, the choice of accommodation lies between the busy harbours of Portoferraio, Porto Azzuro and Marciana Marina and the numerous smaller harbours and anchorages around the coast.

Elba is the largest of the islands in the Tuscan archipelago of Italy and the third largest overall after Sicily and Sardinia. Situated 30 miles east of the Corsican port of Bastia, the north-east tip of the island is only five miles from the commercial harbour of Piombino on the Italian mainland.

Most of the island is mountainous, culminating in the 1019 metre high peak of Monte Capanne in the west, except for the central belt where the principal harbour of Portoferraio is situated on the northern coast. The island was much coveted in ancient times, firstly by the Etruscans and later by the Romans, for its major iron ore deposits (hence Portoferraio). By the 17th century, the excellent natural harbour of Portoferraio attracted the attention of the navies of France, Spain, Italy and finally England, which briefly seized the island at the close of the 18th century. Elba’s enduring fame, however, derives from the exile here from May 1814 to February 1815 of the defeated Napoleon Bonaparte, whose Villa dei Mulini in Portoferraio and summer residence of Villa Napoleonica di San Martino five km SW of the town are now museums.

Today Elba is a thriving tourist island, invariably heaving with Italian and foreign tourists during late July and August, its hotels full to bursting point. For the cruising yachtsman, the choice of accommodation lies between the busy harbours of Portoferraio, Porto Azzurro and Marciana Marina and the numerous smaller harbours and anchorages around the coast.
