Capoliveri - Island of Elba, Tuscany

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Here's a nice look at the small island of Elba, which is situated off the western coast of Italy. It's the largest in a group of islands called the Tuscan Archipelago, which are arrayed (as the name suggests) off the coast of the Tuscany region between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas, both of which are considered extensions of the Mediterranean. The specific spot shown in this video by contributor kpax is the area around Capoliveri, which lies on a peninsula off the southeast part of the island.

The Isola d’Elba is a true natural paradise, so beautiful it is hard to describe: see-through, blue waters, green landscapes, beautiful hills, all combined with fantastic flora and fauna, as well as the warm friendliness of its inhabitants, makes it a true slice of heaven. Choose to spend time on one of its gorgeous beaches – sand, gravel, shingles, pebbles: there is truly a beach for each taste! – and enjoy their crystal clear sea; if you like scuba diving, then the island has something for you too, as it is surrounded by beautifully preserved coral reef. Capoliveri, the main town in the southeastern part of Elba Island, is a charming town perched on terraced ridge of Monte Calamita. Its name and origin date back to the Roman period: Caput Liberi is Latin for Liberus' Hill, meaning sacred to Bacchus, and since ancient times has been a land of vineyards and fine wine.
