Train service from Pisa airport to Piombino Marittima is available, but you must change in Pisa Central Station and,  often also in Campiglia Marittima station where you catch a train or a bus to Piombino Marittima. The train ticket is valid also for the bus journey.

You can check the Trenitalia official web site for train schedule: www.trenitalia.com (insert as arrival: Piombino Marittima)

NOTE: a Shuttle Bus is provided from Pisa Airport to Piombino Marittima on Tuesday 20 at around 6.30 PM. Please contact, before the 1st of November, Manuela Magnoni (magnoni@islepark.it) to reserve it.

Wherever you come from, to reach Piombino Marittima, the harbour where you can take the ferry to Elba, from the SS1 highway, you have to exit at “Venturina/Piombino/Island of Elba” and follow the signs for Piombino Marittima.

Here you can find all the information about your travel and how long it takes.

Once you get to Piombino Marittima you can choose whether to leave your car in a paying guarded car park or take it across to the Island of Elba.

To go to Elba you can choose among two different companies: Toremar and Moby.

Please  take the ferry to Portoferraio where your hotels are located. As regards the company, if you want to embark  your car, it is better to check the prices first: sometimes they are very different  one from the other.
