Between land and sea

Starting from Lucca or Pisa, you will make your way to the Piazza del Duomo. Soak up the exciting atmosphere around you and admire the famous leaning Tower of Pisa. Next, you will head southwards and ride along a countryside road in the direction of Volterra. Why not take a break and visit this enchanting little town, perched atop a rocky promontory culminating at 500m? Finally, you will end today’s journey by riding through Salina di Volterra, Bibbona, and San Vincenzo before reaching Piombino.

Night in a 3 star hotel with private swimming pool in Piombino. The hotel restaurant also has stunning panoramic views over the island of Elba.

Distance: approximately 145km.

The island of Elba

Head to the port of Piombino, which is 5 minutes away from your hotel. You will then take the ferry to the island of Elba (duration: 1 hour).
Once in Portoferraio, your motorbike adventure in Elba will begin with a ride along a slightly hilly piece of road, and then along the coastline, which is dotted with charming little villages. When the weather is bright, it is possible to see the other islands of the Tuscan archipelago, such as Pianosa, Capraia and Monte Cristo as well as the French island of Corsica. If you’re lucky, you might even see the Apennine Mountains in the distance. A wonderful and truly magical experience!
