Livorno
When the capital of the Italian province of the same name became a free port in the 17th century, it developed into a multicultural city thanks to new customs, religions and a touch of the exotic brought by merchants. Today, elegant Belle Époque buildings in the historic district are reminders of its prosperous past. In addition, there are canals reminiscent of Venice, and a stroll along the black-and-white tiled promenade by the sea is a must.
The ferry port of Livorno in Italy offers connections to the Italian islands of Capraia, Sicily and Sardinia, as well as to France. A total of 6 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Grimaldi Lines, Toremar, Moby Lines and Corsica Ferries.
Capraia
The island of Capraia is located in the Mediterranean Sea and belongs to the Tuscan Archipelago. It is considered the most maritime and at the same time the wildest island in the region. The existence of the islet is due to two volcanic eruptions that happened millions of years ago. The volcanic activity is still reflected in the landscape of Capraia. It is dotted with sloping cliffs and rocks. Particularly famous is the bay of Cala Rossa, which shines in colors ranging from red to black. The main attraction is Monte Castello, which has the characteristic Mediterranean vegetation. Birdwatchers, with a little luck, can observe the rare coral gull as well as various other species such as the crow sherd or the Corsican siskin.
From the ferry port on the island of Capraia there is a ferry connection with the ferry port of Livorno on the Italian mainland. The route is offered up to 6 times a week by the shipping company Toremar. The journey time is about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
