Piombino boarding Moby Baby Two, crossing to Portoferraio, Elba island, thanks for a like

Описание: We visit the island of Elba, starting from Piombino to board the Moby Baby Two, we enjoy the beautiful sunny day on the various external decks of the large ferry, until we arrive in Portoferraio, the main port of the island.
It is almost impossible not to pass through Portoferraio during your holiday on the island of Elba. On the other hand, it is precisely here that you will presumably disembark with the ferry, as its port is the most important and crowded on the island. But even if you got there another way, for example by ferry to Rio Marina or by plane, you cannot avoid visiting the historic center of Portoferraio, its beautiful tourist port and the wonderful beaches in its surroundings. Portoferraio, even in its name, hides the quintessence of the island of Elba: the words "port" and "iron" have in fact shaped the history of this splendid island for centuries, the largest in the Tuscan Archipelago and the third largest in Italy after Sicily and Sardinia. This charming town, overlooking the north coast of Elba, represents its capital, even if completely unofficially, and at the same time the main port, the most populous municipality and the second largest. In Portoferraio there are services of all kinds, many hotels, restaurants and bars, but also shops, especially in the historic center which extends narrowly between the two medieval forts that delimit it. And as if that wasn't enough, the beautiful beaches of Elba begin a stone's throw from the center, starting with that of the Ghiaie, which can also be reached on foot from the port and therefore a perfect destination for day trips from the mainland. - https://www.toscana.info/
The historic center of Portoferraio is very pleasant to visit, a typical seaside village with medieval touches, bordered to the south by a beautiful tourist port, where you can stroll while observing the yachts. There is no shortage of attractions: visit them all between one beach and another, to add a touch of culture to your holiday on Elba. Forte Falcone Fort Falcone is located on the western edge of the historic center of Portoferraio in a dominant position. It is a fort dating back to the mid-sixteenth century, commissioned by the Medici, and completed only at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Originally built for defensive and sighting purposes, today it is possible to enter to visit the ancient soldiers' rooms, the powder magazine and the armoury. Forte Stella Opposite Fort Falcone, bordering Portoferraio to the east, is Fort Stella. Both share the start date of the works and the defensive purpose, to protect the town from attacks from the sea. The complex is surrounded by a brick wall and delimited by 5 corner bastions. On the north-west peak of Fort Stella there is the Portoferraio lighthouse, dating back to the 18th century and built by the Lorena family. Palazzina dei Mulini The Palazzina dei Mulini, or simply Villa Mulini, is a historic residence of Napoleon, who lived on Elba during his exile between 1814 and 1815. Villa Mulini today houses the Napoleonic museum, whose exhibition itinerary extends on the ground floor, on the first floor and in the garden. It is possible to observe the original furnishings of the rooms of the villa, including the vestibule, the bedroom and the party room. The garden is also very beautiful, where Napoleon spent a good part of his days. Cathedral of Portoferraio In Piazza della Repubblica, in the historic center of Portoferraio, there is the propositura of the Nativity of Mary, i.e. the city cathedral. The church was built in the 16th century, although the one we can observe today derives from a heavy renovation that took place in the 19th century. It is interesting to visit the interior, where there is a beautiful altar dedicated to the Madonna del Buon Viaggio, as if to strengthen the maritime vocation of Portoferraio
