The island of Capraia
Capraia is the third largest island in the Tuscan archipelago and the only volcanic island.
A true natural and geological paradise where the colour contrast will make your visit sublime.
To enjoy this contrast, it is necessary to visit Cala Rossa di Capraia. This is none other than the remains of a volcanic cone. Here you will experience the true chromatic power of nature: the red rock plunges into the clear turquoise sea.
Capraia Island how to get there
Reaching Capraia is easy as it is well served. With the Toremar Livorno Capraia route, you leave almost every day and it takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. If, on the other hand, you wish to depart from a port closer to the Pappasole, then you can go to San Vincenzo where you will find the Aquavision company for Capraia with three-weekly trips.
Buying tickets for Capraia Island is also very simple. Just go to the ticket offices of the various companies or you can choose to do it from the comfort of your sofa at home by making reservations online.
Capraia Island: what to see
What to see on Capraia Island depends a lot on both your interests and the time you dedicate to stopping over. However, it’s enough to search the Internet and scroll through Capraia’s photos to immediately understand what attracts you most.
If you search for Capraia on Tripadvisor, you’ll get great suggestions to start your visit. Surely you will be suggested to see Cala dello Zurletto and Cala di San Francesco, but also Forte San Giorgio and many other historical and naturalistic attractions.
Of course, if you are more attracted by beaches and the naturalistic side, in addition to the 2 coves mentioned above, you cannot miss Cala della Mortola, and above all you cannot miss the opportunity to go diving in Capraia, since it holds one of the most beautiful and richest seas in the Tuscan archipelago.
Do you love walking and discovering new territories? Then decide to visit Capraia on foot by taking part in one of the many excursions offered on the island and treat yourself to a taste of the delicious food cooked in at least one of these restaurants: La Garitta, il Carabottino, le Sughere.
Do you love seafood cuisine combined with folklore? Then try to be on the island at the time of the Capraia squid festival, i.e. during the All Saints’ Day long weekend.
How long to stay in Capraia?
