Die sieben Hauptinseln – Elba, Giglio, Giannutri, Capraia, Pianosa, Gorgona und Montecristo – stehen unter dem Schutz des Nationalparks Toskanischer Archipel, der als größter Meerespark Europas beschrieben wird. Das offizielle Tourismusportal Italiens stellt ihn als Ziel für Wanderungen in der Zwischensaison sowie für Schnorcheln, Tauchen und die Beobachtung von Walen und Delfinen im Sommer vor. Quelle: Italia.it (auf Italienisch)
Laut der Parkverwaltung umfasst das Schutzgebiet rund 177 km² Land und rund 615 km² Meer und schließt alle Inseln ein. Der Park schützt die Hälfte der Fläche von Elba und Giglio, während auf Capraia nur die kleine bebaute Fläche ausgenommen ist. Quelle: Nationalpark Toskanischer Archipel (PDF, auf Italienisch)
Die sieben Inseln im Überblick
Elba
Elba ist mit rund 224 km² die drittgrößte Insel Italiens und liegt 10 km vor der toskanischen Küste. Sie ist in sieben Gemeinden unterteilt, und ihr höchster Punkt ist der Monte Capanne (1.019 m), der höchste Gipfel des gesamten Archipels. Quelle: Nationalpark Toskanischer Archipel (PDF, auf Italienisch)
Giglio ist nach Größe und Einwohnerzahl die zweitgrößte Insel des Archipels: granitisch und bergig, mit einer Fläche von rund 21,2 km² und 28 km Küstenlinie. Quelle: Regione Toscana (auf Italienisch)
Seit 1971 staatliches Naturreservat, gehört sie zum UNESCO-Biosphärenreservat „Isole di Toscana“ und zum Pelagos-Schutzgebiet für Meeressäuger. Quelle: Quotidiano.net (auf Italienisch)
Pianosa
Pianosa ist die flachste Insel des Archipels: knapp über zehn Quadratkilometer groß, mit einer maximalen Höhe von 29 Metern. Von 1858 bis 1998 war sie eine Strafkolonie. Quelle: Visit Tuscany (auf Italienisch)
Sie bewahrt Zeugnisse, die bis in die Jungsteinzeit zurückreichen, und war in der Kaiserzeit der Verbannungsort von Agrippa Postumus, einem Enkel des Augustus. Quelle: SiViaggia (auf Italienisch)
Giannutri
Giannutri (2,6 km², 11 km felsige Küste) ist die südlichste der toskanischen Inseln. Die einzigen Anlegestellen sind Cala Spalmatoio und Cala Maestra, und die römische Villa dei Domizi kann mit spezialisierten Führern besichtigt werden. Quelle: Nationalpark Toskanischer Archipel (PDF, auf Italienisch)
Die Häftlinge leben im offenen Vollzug und bewirtschaften Gemüsegärten und Weinberge auf Terrassen; auf der Insel sieht man die Ruinen der römischen Villa und die pisanische Festung Rocca Vecchia. Quelle: Italia.it (auf Italienisch)
Natur und geschütztes Meer
Die Vegetation ist überwiegend mediterran, und die Flora ist reich an endemischen Arten. Der Archipel ist zudem Rast- und Brutplatz für viele Zugvögel, und seine Geodiversität macht die Vielfalt an Mineralien überraschend. Quelle: Nationalpark Toskanischer Archipel (PDF, auf Italienisch)
In den elbanischen Trattorien finden Sie Gurguglione (gemischtes Gemüse, in der Pfanne mit Öl, Knoblauch und Basilikum gegart), Cacciucco nach elbanischer Art (Fischeintopf) und Schiaccia briaca, ein Gebäck mit Rosinen, Pinienkernen, Walnüssen und Mandeln, das mit Aleatico-Wein getränkt wird. Quelle: Scattidigusto (auf Italienisch)
Aleatico und Elba DOC
Der Aleatico Passito von Elba, ein süßer Meditationswein aus getrockneten Trauben, erhielt 2011 den DOCG-Status; er wird auf über 32 Hektar auf Elba und auf über 3 Hektar auf Capraia angebaut. Quelle: Visit Tuscany (auf Englisch)
Auch die Verbindung der Insel zum Wein ist offiziell: Die Elba DOC besteht seit 1967, als eine der ersten in Italien. Quelle: Blu Navy (auf Englisch)
So besuchen Sie die Inseln
Montecristo, Pianosa und Gorgona sind streng geschützt, und der Zugang ist reglementiert. Auf Giannutri ist der Zutritt frei, doch auf dem größten Teil der Insel muss man von Führern begleitet werden. Quelle: Nationalpark Toskanischer Archipel (PDF, auf Italienisch)
Montecristo erreicht man nur über die von der Parkverwaltung organisierten Besuche, die vorab gebucht werden müssen, auf drei genehmigten Wegen und mit Badeverbot; Gorgona nur mit geführten Besuchen ab Livorno. Quelle: Italia.it (auf Italienisch)
Reiseroute für 4 Tage zwischen den Inseln
Die Inseln werden von verschiedenen Festlandhäfen aus erreicht: Piombino für Elba, Porto Santo Stefano für Giglio, Livorno für Capraia. Deshalb ist die Reiseroute in getrennte Etappen gegliedert, die an die Fährfahrpläne angepasst werden sollten. Quelle: Traghetti.com (auf Italienisch)
Portoferraio ist Hauptort und wichtigster Hafen von Elba. Sein heutiges Aussehen erhielt es unter Cosimo I. de‘ Medici, der ab 1548 bedeutende Befestigungsarbeiten begann. Quelle: Visit Tuscany (auf Italienisch)
Das im 16. Jahrhundert von den Medici erbaute Forte Falcone überragt die Stadt und ist heute ein Aussichtspunkt, während auf der anderen Seite das Forte Stella fünf Bastionen und einen Leuchtturm aus dem 19. Jahrhundert besitzt. Quelle: SiViaggia (auf Italienisch)
Die Palazzina dei Mulini war Napoleons Residenz während seines Exils auf Elba, vom 4. Mai 1814 bis zum 26. Februar 1815, und wird heute als Teil des Nationalmuseums der napoleonischen Residenzen besichtigt. Quelle: Visit Tuscany (auf Englisch)
Tag 2 – Elba: Villa San Martino und elbanische Weine
Außerhalb der Stadt, nahe Procchio, liegt die Villa San Martino, Napoleons zweites Domizil: Sie war die Privatresidenz des Kaisers, umgeben von Wäldern und Weinbergen, die zum Meer hin abfallen. Quelle: Regione Toscana (auf Italienisch)
Giglio liegt rund 15 km vor der Küste und wird von Porto Santo Stefano in der Maremma aus erreicht: Die Fähren brauchen etwa eine Stunde bis Giglio Porto. Quelle: SiViaggia (auf Italienisch)
In Giglio Porto steht der Sarazenenturm, 1596 auf Wunsch von Ferdinand I. von Toskana erbaut; weiter oben liegt Giglio Castello, ein befestigtes Dorf innerhalb hoher mittelalterlicher Mauern mit Türmen. Quelle: Visit Tuscany (auf Italienisch)
Auf der Westseite liegt Campese am gleichnamigen Strand, berühmt für seine Sonnenuntergänge. Ein anspruchsvollerer Weg verbindet Giglio Castello über den Monte Calvo (496 m), den höchsten Punkt der Insel, mit Campese. Quelle: SiViaggia (auf Italienisch)
Tag 4 – Zur Wahl: Pianosa, Capraia oder Giannutri
Pianosa. Die Verbindungen sind saisonal und reglementiert: Der Zugang ist begrenzt, die Plätze sind kontingentiert, und eine frühzeitige Buchung ist erforderlich. Quelle: Traghettilines (auf Italienisch)
Im Frühjahr hat der Park ganztägige Besuche mit Abfahrt per Schiff ab Piombino angeboten, den ganzen Tag über begleitet von einem Parkführer; das Paket umfasste die Hin- und Rückfahrt sowie die Eintrittskarte. Quelle: SiViaggia (auf Italienisch)
Capraia. Die Fähre ab Livorno wird ganzjährig ausschließlich von Toremar betrieben und dauert etwa 2 Stunden 45 Minuten. Quelle: Traghettilines (auf Italienisch)

From Rome to Venice, via Florence and Tuscany: a practical day-by-day
guide
Editorial note. This article only includes sections for

📈 Trending today — 7-Day Italy Itinerary
Autumn is driving travel searches: grape harvests in Tuscany and Piedmont,
foliage and the Alba White Truffle Fair are boosting interest in road-trip
itineraries across Italy.
A 7-day Italy itinerary is the most realistic way to cross the country
without sacrificing its soul: from Rome to Venice, via Florence and the
Tuscan countryside, each stop tells a different chapter of the same
centuries-old story. There is no need for a complicated route: a handful
of well-connected cities by train or car, plus a pace that leaves room for
the unexpected, is what several travel guides dedicated to one-week tours
of the country recommend.
Spotahome guide — Touring Italy in 7 days
Geographically, Italy stretches over 1,200 km from the Alps to Sicily, but
a one-week itinerary works best when it focuses on a North-Central axis,
reducing travel time and increasing the actual time spent in each city:
Rome, Florence and Venice remain the most recommended stops for travelers
with only seven days available.

Conclusion
Seven days to fall in love with Italy
A well-built 7-day Italy itinerary doesn't aim to see everything, but to
leave time to truly experience every stop: the history of Rome, the
Renaissance of Florence, the Tuscan hills and the canals of Venice
together tell an identity no other destination can replicate.
Whether you choose spring, with its soft colors, or autumn, with the grape
harvest and the Truffle Fair, the result is the same: a trip capable of
staying with you long after the week on the road is over.
