We propose outdoor activities promoting sustainable tourism, as an alternative to the traditional one.
We live in one of the most fascinating territories of all the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our archipelago is part of the biggest protected area of Europe: the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals.
Its seven islands have unique characteristics that distinguish them one from another; this makes their discovery a fascinating experience. Tours depart primarily from the Island of Elba and the islands of Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo and Gorgona in addition to the more distant Giglio and Giannutri.
On all the islands of the archipelago, it is possible to participate in various kinds of outdoor activities.

The Fortress
