Elba: paradise with crystal clear sea water
The Italian island of Elba offers crystal-clear sea water, in which many, sometimes colorful, fish can be found. Many sandy bays are known for being very shallow and therefore ideal for holidays with small children. The island is located near Corsica (France) and Sardinia and is a very popular holiday destination. Although Elba has its own airport, which is located in Marina Di Campo, the range of flights is extremely limited. Due to the insolvencies of SkyWork and InterSky, there are no longer any non-stop flights from Germany. From Switzerland, Zimex Air flies from Bern-Belp on behalf of a tour operator and from Lugano the Czech Silver Air flies with Let 410. The majority of tourists therefore travel by ferries, which are offered from Piombino, for example. There is a high frequency of shipping traffic and the prices are quite moderate. Silver Air offers some subsidized connections from Milan-Linate, Pisa and Florence during the summer months. However, the frequencies are rather low and in the past the service has been repeatedly suspended at short notice and without much notice. The aircraft used are Let 410s with 16 seats and are Czech-made. If you decide to travel by air, Pisa is a suitable transfer point. However, it should be noted that Silver Air has neither interline nor codeshare agreements with other airlines. This means that any luggage must be picked up and checked in again. There is also no liability in the event of delays and the next flight may not be available until
