Visit To Elba

We stayed for a few days on Elba a couple of years ago and loved it. However, we took our car and were camping. I would suggest you look at the bus map on the Elba tourist site and work it out from there, I don't think that the centre of the island is well served by public transport and the buses tend to follow the coast. This means that most of the coastal towns/villages served by buses tend to be a bit touristy but if you found somewhere a bit smaller I am sure it would be a good base. The larger coastal towns ie Portoferraio, tended to attract the seriously big floating gin palace type owners where the crew had changed uniform every time we looked, so prices were, accordingly, a bit on the high side. http://www.atl.livorno.it/mappe%20x%20sito/PF-%20A1F.jpg Good luck and enjoy!
