For those who love sport, there is plenty to do in Marciana Marina. The rocky coastline means that there are many underwater trips to do, with the choice of diving in the crystal clear waters, exploring all the nooks and crannies. In Marciana Marina there are two diving centers: Elba Diving Center and Polo Sub Diving Center.   There are many routes for those who love hiking. Setting off from Marciana and from Poggio there are several delightful marked footpaths which take you through the secular chestnut woods and the macchia, the typical Mediterranean vegetation, past historical sites and fresh mountain springs, right up to the top of the mountains in the Capanne range. Your prize at the top is the breathtaking view of the whole of the island of Elba and all of the Tuscan Archipelago.   From April to October there is a cable-car which takes you effortlessly to the summit. The Sailing Club organise sailing lessons for children and for adults either in simple crafts or with a cabin. There is also the base of the Elba Sea Kayak who organises courses of sea kayak.   The Tennis Club has two tennis courts (mateco) and other tennis courts are located in some hotels. Mountain bike enthusiasts can enjoy the many tracks through the woods in the Mount Capanne area or simply follow the panoramic trail of the western ring road of the island. Only few kilometres from Marciana Marina there are also stables for those who enjoy horse-riding. | ||
