The Island of Elba - Porto Azzurro
Elba, about 10 km from the Italian mainland, is one of the greenest and most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. It is the third largest in Italy (after Sicily and Sardinia) with an area of 224 sq km. The pure air, mild climate and plentiful water account for Elba's richly varied vegetation. The scenery changes constantly: 150 km of coastline, with wide sandy beaches, girdle steep cliffs and romantic bays, where crystalclear water invites you to all kind...
of aquatic sports - sailing, windsurfing, swimming, and diving. The school is situated in Porto Azzurro, a small picturesque harbour town on the island. Porto Azzurro, with its azure coloured harbour, is a very charming village. Directly on the seashore, its "Piazza" is surrounded on three sides by all kinds of shops, restaurants, cafés and gelaterias. Under plane-trees you can find park-benches; opposite, yachts are bobbing up and down on the water and the atmosphere of the warm summer-nights is unique. Even today the medieval Spanish fortress dominates the village; a visit to the nearby sanctuary Madonna di Monserrato takes you on an inviting walk through a wild and scenic valley.
