Elba is most famously known as the island where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled. Napoleon was forced to resign in 1814 when Prussia, Austria, Russia, and the French emperor signed a treaty that ended his reign.
To get to Elba, you have to take a ferry from Italy’s mainland to one of the three main towns on the island, Portoferraio (the largest city and capital of Elba), Cavo, and Rio Marina.
