Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his final joyful days in the Villa Magni near Lerici before setting sail on his fateful voyage through stormy waters on July 8, 1822. Lord Byron, another literary figure tied to Lerici, famously swam across what is now known as the "Golfo dei Poeti." Nearby, the charming fishing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro, Fiascherino, and Montemarcello offer a similar allure to the renowned Cinque Terre.
From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbor and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization.
