Maritime connections Piombino – Rio Marina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the routes that ferries travel to get to Elba, the Piombino – Rio Marina<\/a> one is used mostly by those who need to reach the eastern or south-eastern part of the Tuscan island. The route, of 9.2 nautical miles<\/strong>, takes a journey time of 45 minutes<\/strong> and is followed by the ships of the Toremar<\/strong> fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The port of Piombino<\/strong> (New Maritime Station) is the only port from which ferries leave for the island of Elba. The piers from which the moorings leave are precisely the so-called Dente Nord Capitaneria, the Elba wharf and the Premuda square. The Piombinese territory is located in the province of Livorno, on the southern coast of the Tuscany region, at the border line between the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n

The port of Rio Marina<\/strong>, part of the Elban municipality of Rio, is the second on the island. The maritime station, located in Calata Voltoni, consists of a breakwater of about 100 meters and a dock of 250 meters where the ferries arriving from Piombino dock. Well connected to the local provincial road network, the port area is characterized by the Torrione<\/em>, a sixteenth-century defensive tower with an octagonal base to which, in the nineteenth century, a turret with a clock was added.<\/p>\n\n\n
