Tuscan Islands cruise
An archipelago between Corsica and Italy (8 days)

Scattered between the Italian coast and Corsica, the seven Tuscan islands of Elba, Capraia, Pianosa, Giglio, Giannutri, Gor gone and Montecristo are pearls that have fallen from Aphrodite's necklace into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This gift of the gods was recognized by Unesco as a biosphere reserve in 2003. Departing from the Macinaggio marina north of Bastia, this catamaran cruise in the Tuscan archipelago will take you to the island of Capraia. Lovers of unspoilt nature and the deep sea, this island will delight you.
A former penal colony for some 100 years, it has only been open to tourism since 1986. Its volcanic origins give it majestic coasts, populated by seabirds and falcons. Beyond the port and the coastal village stretches an incredible maquis, testifying to the richness of the original flora of this Mediterranean region.  Some 30 miles south of Capraia, the island of Elba, the largest of the Tuscan islands, offers a shoreline of dream beaches
golden sand, white pebbles, granite rocks and crystal-clear seas. From Marciana to Fetovaia, via the capital Portoferraio and Porto Azzuro, you'll be scouring the shores of this green oasis. Each port of call has its own particularity: Elba leaves no room for monotony. Napoleon 1st spent 10 months here. The traces of his time on the island are omnipresent. What better place to recharge your batteries before plunging back into battle?  Exile yourself for a few days to the Tuscan archipelago on your next catamaran cruise.
