WHAT TO DO AT CAPRAIA
WHAT TO SEE
----------------------------------------------
» Portoferraio.
The small fortified town, the Roman amphiteatre, the fortress and the Napoleonic museum.
» The Island of Capraia.
The beautiful small harbour and the antique watch-towers scattered on the nearly unscalable tops, remind us of pirate stories and bloody battles. The island, lying in a crystal-clear water, surrounded by steep cliffs and suggestive inlets, offers a magnificent landscape. The old volcano which emerged 9 million years ago, still preserves a raw and undisputed beauty.
WHAT TO EAT
----------------------------------------------
The cuisine of Capraia includes dishes and traditional cookery from all the Archipelago and the coast of the Maremma. You should not miss fish dishes prepared by the people of Capraia, following old recipes.
WHAT TO DRINK
----------------------------------------------
The territory does not permit an important cultivation of autochthonous vines, for this reason, in the restaurants and in the wine shops, one can find wines of the coast, of the Tuscan hinderland and of Elba producers.
