What to expect
Marciana Marina is a charming little fishing village on Elba Island, with a stunning view of Monte Giove to the west and Monte Perone to the east. The village has a small marina, two small beaches, and an old Torre Medicea, built to protect the city from pirate invasions. The promenade from the old part of the city to the Torre Medicea has preserved its original 18th-century architectural and urban features. With nearly 2,000 inhabitants, Marciana Marina is a great place to experience the authentic side of Italy. The village has a rich history, with evidence of Etruscan and Roman periods, and is nicknamed the 'little Marseille' due to its command over Elba's trade routes
