Tuscan Islands

The mythical origins of this extraordinary archipelago tells us the story of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty and how seven pearls fell from her necklace into the Tyrrhenian Sea. These gems became the seven islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, now a National Park: Gorgona, Capraia, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio, Giannutri and the main island Elba, where the Etruscan legacy is overshadowed by Napoleon’s exile.

Day after day, discover the temperament and beauty of each island: from the glamourous night life of Elba, to the breathtaking seabeds at Capraia, to the mysterious nature reserve Montecristo, that only has two permanent inhabitants. Alexandre Dumas made this island famous in his novel of betrayal and revenge “The Count of Monte Cristo”.
