We are pleased to present the spring programme of the Capoliveri Museum of the Sea.
Alongside our regular workshops for children, the “Stories from the Sea” return: informal, anecdotal walks open to everyone, offering the chance to explore the Capoliveri area guided by artists from Elba del Vicino.
Starting this year, the “Stories from the Sea” walks are part of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism, reflecting their commitment to integrating tourism with the unique character of the local territory and its community.
Before introducing the individual events, please note that all activities are designed for small groups and require advance booking. Guided tours and new narrated audio guides are also available at the Museum, both in the morning and in the evening.
