Best little Island in Italy

by klmousseau

Isola de Elba is the best little island in Italy. A short ferry ride from the east coast and you're in one of the most scenic and relaxing places in the meditteranean. Hidden beaches, great wine, and Napolean's exile house. Rent A scooter and find your own spot to watch the perfect sunset!
