Regular shared afternoon activities. Speak Italian and discover Elba together.
OUR WEEKLY PROGRAMME
There is plenty to talk about in the afternoon too.
ABC ELBA offers regular shared afternoon activities . Get to know other students and use your Italian outside class.
One day may focus on an Elban recipe, another on local history or a winery visit. The programme is organised locally according to the group, weather and availability.
Choose which activities you join. Time for yourself, your companions or an afternoon by the sea is part of your stay too.
WALKS AND EXCURSIONS
Out together, with time to explore.
A viewpoint by the sea, a path through the countryside or a historic site: conversations often arise naturally along the way. Ask questions, listen and discover the island with people from your course.
The photo shows a group excursion to Volterraio. Images like this illustrate past outings. Your week’s destinations are arranged locally; not every walk takes place every week.
We discuss the route and its demands before you join, so you can decide whether to come along or spend the afternoon differently.
