Rio Marina
Rio Marina sits on the eastern shore of Elba, one of Tuscany's most storied islands, with a marina that puts you right in the heart of a village that's been inhabited since Etruscan times. The town grew around iron ore mining, and the Elba Island Mining Park is practically on your doorstep — a genuinely fascinating detour into the island's industrial past. The harbor has an honest, working-village feel that sets it apart from glossier Elban ports, with beaches like Cala Seregola and Cala delle Alghe just a short distance away.
