Porto Azzurro is the good living room of Elba where graceful hillside houses in pastel colors cross the port, which recently also returned the remains of an ancient Roman pier.
Porto Azzurro is the heart of island life and is the ideal country for those who love shopping. In the small and characteristic alleys of the town you will find picturesque places where you can taste an aperitif or eat the freshest fish from Elba.
We report for the aperitif the “CUCANDERO” and the “ZERO” instead to eat the restaurant “DA FLORIANO” (cuisine based on fish) and the restaurant “I 4 GATTI” (refined cuisine with particular flavors).
Porto Azzurro besides being a nice and interesting destination, it has a fuel distributor to be able to refill your dinghy tank.
In addition, once stocked (and be safe even for the return) you can ask the owner for clarifications or doubts about where to leave your dinghy temporarily, perhaps for shopping or for an ice cream or to eat.
As a restaurant, about 1 mile to the right of Porto Azzurro, going out, you can find a small bay of Calanova, with a small beach and a fish restaurant with the same name “Calanova”.
We highly recommend it as a quality fish, above average prices, but the quality level of the restaurant really deserves.
Be very careful if you decide not to use your small wharf, as it is very dangerous due to the unprotected edges that have already caused huge and serious problems for the boats especially the tubular ones.
Stop your boat at 200 meters and make phone calls requesting the service with the pedalo or patino.
