How to reach Elba by Car

By Car

To reach Elba Island by car it is necessary to reach the maritime station of Piombino where you can find all the ferries  companies engaged in the daily transport service to and from Elba Island.

It will take just 1 hour to cover the 10 km that separate the island from the continent, to reach the main port of Portoferraio or the ports of Rio Marina and Cavo.

Alternatively there is a fast hydrofoil for passenger only which takes just 35 minutes to reach Portoferraio.
