Piombino Guide

Piombino Ferry Port

Situated on the south west coast of Italy, Piombino is a small town bordering the Ligurian Sea and Tyrrhenian Sea. There are many ferry routes departing, supplied by several ferry companies, and range from around 40 minutes to nine hours.

What is there to do in Piombino?

Steep hills encompass the rocky beaches, ancient castles populate the centre and high quality restaurants serve enticing sea food – Piombino is the quintessential relaxing holiday destination. The appeal of the historical centre lies in its size; the entirety of it can be covered easily by foot and the quaint streets are decorated in colourful buildings and rustic architectural designs. The castle is possibly the standout attraction of the town, supplying unique aesthetics due to the previous employment as a prison. To continue the cultural and historical education, the Museum of the Castle and the City provides a fascinating insight into the history of Piombino and is generally fairly affordable. For anyone who prefers sun and sea over museums and castles, there are a few beaches that are perfect for whiling away a few hours under the Mediterranean sun. The port is also ideal for a relaxing afternoon, with cafes offering postcard picture views of the harbour.

How do you get around Piombino?

The town is so small that it can be covered by foot, which is the desired mode of transport considering the sleepy nature.


Cavo Guide

Cavo Ferry Port

The beach resort of Cavo marks the north-eastern point of the Island of Elba, just a short distance from the Italian mainland across a narrow channel of the Ligurian Sea. This quaint port village is surrounded on all sides by steep hills studded with a motley green variety of flora, from Ilex trees to Gariga shrubs. The port of Cavo consists of a short pier that juts out from one side of a busy marina. Motorists and cyclists can board the ferries via one of the designated lanes that lead to the docking area at the tip of the pier. There are very few amenities at the port, though there is a bar with outdoor seating for waiting passengers to relax before departure. There are only two road routes that feed into Cavo. The SP26 is a short jaunt along the eastern coast, connecting the resort to the larger port town of Rio Marina, while the SP33 is a twisting hillside route leading towards the island’s largest city of Portoferraio. There are plenty of ferries that leave Cavo throughout the week. The port of Piombino on the Italian mainland, just 20 minutes across the sea, is the most serviced destination with daily departures on Moby Lines and Toremar ferries, but a daily Toremar service also takes passengers around the northern tip of Elba into Portoferraio too.
