By getwafe

September 16^th, 2016

three islands. two countries.

Elba (Italy) - Corsica (France) - Capraia (Italy).

All three islands offer an amazing Savage Nature!

The three islands are part of the International Ligurian Sea Cetacean Sanctuary, a marine protected area aimed at the protection of marine mammals (cetaceans).

The Italian ones, Elba and Capraia, are also part of the National Park of the Tuscan archipelago, the largest marine park in Europe with several protected areas.

whatever you do...

“When you‘re at sea your mind is clear, free from any confusion, you‘re focused.
Suddenly the light becomes sharper, sounds are richer, and you are invaded by the deep powerful presence of life.”
(George Byron)
