Like real pearls in a necklace, the islands differ from one another. Each though preserves traces of its history, each is unique; their common bond is the beauty of their natural setting. Elba is the largest island of the Archipelago : its sea, its beaches, the green of the countryside, the tiny fortress towns, archaeological treasures, chestnut forests and more have survived over the centuries and continue to flourish. On the island of Elba one gets the feeling of “good goods in small parcels” since one can travel through so may different landscapes and attractions, often in contrast with each other: areas scorched by sun and wind alongside others luxuriant and green with life, sandy and pebbled beaches, rocky coastlines and sheer cliffs.

Elba yacht charter itinerary

Yacht charters guide: the island of elba, sailing around the island of elba.

Elba is the third largest island in Italy, after Sicily and Sardinia, and it is the largest island in the Tuscan archipelago. The best way to visit Elba is by chartering a yacht to admire the cliffs on the north coast, which stand dizzyingly tall above the sea, while to the south, sandy stretches offer gentle landing places such as Fetovaia , Marina di Campo e Lacona . With more than seventy beaches, it really is the ideal destination for those who looking to cruise from one side to the other, and discover some incredibly striking spots. The wind blows all around this island, making it a yachting paradise. Its 80 NM of coastline are a sight to behold, to rejoice in, letting the sails carry you. In springtime, the explosion of colours makes for postcard-perfect views; in summer, the coastline is lush and verdant, while in autumn, the island is painted a palette of browns, yellows and greens. And in winter? The yacht becomes a salon for meditation, along with the silence of Elba’s natural setting. The sheer number of anchorages on the Island of Elba allow for safe cruising, making the island suitable for skippers of all abilities; the distances between one landing place and another are short, for a carefree seafaring experience. The winds that blow most often are the mistral and the sirocco. The clear waters beckon, for long swims; and there’s plenty to see snorkelling too, so don’t forget to bring masks and flippers.

The best ports for mooring at Elba , and which villages to visit

Elba is one of the most popular destinations among those chartering a yacht to discover this corner of the Mediterranean. Portoferraio is the main town, with its Medicean towers, renaissance fortresses, its 16th century cathedral and colourfully painted houses; the Marina di Portoferraio , situated right in the old, horseshoe-shaped port, becomes the ideal place to step onto land soak up the atmosphere. Its shape means that it offers a natural, safe shelter, whatever wind might be blowing. The Marina is welcoming and well-equipped, a great landing place for all vessels. Those on a yachting holiday will find it is definitely a place to stop off at, a jewel on the island of Elba, giving a warm welcome to those arriving by sea. Other docking places not to be missed: Marciana Marina , with its picturesque squares and narrow lanes, quaint souvenir shops and cosy restaurants serving up local cuisine; those wanting to stretch their legs have a wealth of options, from the seaside promenade to the lanes wending up to Monte Capanne. Porto Azzurro is another town with pleasant surprises in store; with its delectable stone cottages, cobbled streets and little shops full of tempting items, it wins everyone over with its charm. Then there’s Marina di Campo , with its ancient tower; Rio Marina , with iron ore mines and the Minerals Museum; Cavo , with its path leading to the promontory of Capo Castello. In addition to these, Elba’s main shipyards also offer mooring: Esaom , one kilometer from Portoferraio, and Cala di Mola , three kilometres from Porto Azzurro.

The most beautiful anchorages for yachts on the Island of Elba

Anchorage: the magic word when it comes to a yachting holiday. The dictionary definition is “a place where a boat can anchor safely” but we at ItalyCharter would also add, “a place where you can feel the sea and nature all around you, let yourself be lulled by the waves even at night, listen to the silence, and really get a sense of life onboard a yacht”. Anchorage offers isolation, far from land, fully engaging with the sea. Nature all around. The boat dances upon the waves, as every magical moment is enveloped in tranquillity. Here’s our guide to the most beautiful anchorages for yachts on the Island of Elba: Viticcio , Biodola and the Forno , the large sheltered bay surrounded by Mediterranean bush, which lets you “spy” on Corsica; Scoglio della Paolina , a tranquil corner where one can imagine life in Napoleon’s day; Fetovaia , with its lovely beach; Marina di Campo , with its incredible shades of sea; Margidore with its islets, and Barbarossa , in the bay of Porto Azzurro.

The most beautiful beaches for anchoring a yacht on the Island of Elba

Which are the most beautiful beaches for anchoring your yacht on the Island of Elba? Where can you take a dip in the crystal-clear sea, sheltered from the wind? It’s hard to provide an official chart of Elba’s best beaches but we can let you in on which beaches are most popular with those who charter a yacht with us. Many people fall in love with the beach at Sorgente , with its white, sea-worn pebbles: here, the water is totally clear; the beach of Sant’Andrea boasts a sea in every possible shade of blue, and has inviting, fine ochre sand. Those who enjoy snorkelling will love Pomonte the beach at Cavoli has astounding colours and an astonishingly beautiful natural setting; Laconella is a beach with powdery sand set between two headlands, while Cala Nova is not to be missed if long swims in crystal-clear waters appeal. Including the Island of Elba in a chartered yacht itinerary will provide the crew with plenty of satisfactions, both due to the beauty of its beaches and the ease of cruising around the island, thanks to its many mooring places.

Benvenuti al Margidore Yacht Club

La splendida spiaggia di Margidore situata a sud dell’Isola d’Elba è la cornice del Margidore Yacht Club.

Banda dei Bitcoin arrestata in Italia nella villa da sogno a Furore: "incastrati" dalla vacanza di lusso tra ristoranti, jet e yacht

Quattro persone ricercate a livello internazionale avevano ottenuto 14 milioni di dollari da crimini informatici. arrestati in una villa extra-lusso a picco sul mare nel fiordo di furore, in costiera amalfitana.

Quattro persone, un "colpo grosso" e crimini informatici per 14 milioni di dollari. Due mandati di arresto europei e una vacanza da sogno in Italia tra ville e yacht di lusso, jet privati e ristoranti raffinati, in Sardegna, Isola d'Elba e poi Costiera Amalfitana . E alla fine, proprio qui, l'arresto in una villa di lusso a picco sul mare a Furore .  Sembra la trama di un film di Lupin , il celebre ladro dei cartoni anni 80, ma è la storia della "Banda del Bitcoin ", composta da quattro persone ricercate a livello internazionale che questa mattina sono state assicurate alla giustizia da un'operazione della polizia postale italiana. 

Banda del Bitcoin, chi sono?

Si tratta di 4 persone, due uomini (uno di nazionalità saudita e uno di nazionalità ucraina) e due donne (una libanese e una russa) noti come "la banda del Bitcoin". I quattro sarebbero responsabili di crimini informatici che avrebbero fruttato ben 14 milioni di dollari. Sui due uomini pendeva un mandato di aresto europeo nell'ambito dell'indagine condotta dalla polizia francese e sono stati arrestati dagli agenti della Polizia postale, su richiesta della Procura di Roma. Le due donne risultano indagate in stato di libertà. Gli inquirenti hanno dato esecuzione anche a quattro decreti di perquisizione in un procedimento in cui si contesta anche il reato di riciclaggio.

Crimini informatici per 14 milioni di dollari 

L'attività eseguita sul territorio italiano è stata il frutto di una cooperazione internazionale richiesta all'esito di una indagine avviata dai magistrati parigini circa due mesi fa. Secondo quanto ricostruito, l'organizzazione criminale ha sottratto criptovalute per un  valore a sei zeri attraverso un attacco informatico sferrato ai danni di un exchange con sede nelle isole Cayman .

La cifra sottratta è stata poi convertita  in tether Usdt, una criptovaluta «stabile» perché ancorata al valore del dollaro . Nulla, dunque, era lasciato al caso anche se la vita sfarzosa portata avanti dall'organizzazione ha lasciato sul terreno indizi grazie ai quali gli inquirenti francesi sono riusciti a localizzare gli indagati sul territorio italiano.

La vacanza da sogno in Italia tra ville, jet privati e yacht

Mentre sfuggivano alla giustizia i quattro si sono concessi una vacanza di lusso in Italia, spostandosi tra Sardegna, Isola d'Elba e Costiera Amalfitana con l'utilizzo di auto a noleggio e jet privati. Una vita sfarzosa, tra ristoranti raffinati, barche di lusso e ville spettacolari. Come quella in cui oggi sono stati raggiunti dalla Polizia Postale italiana, a picco sul mare nel fiordo di Furore (Salerno).  

L'arresto nella villa a Furore 

I due destinatari dei mandati di arresto sono stati trasferiti nel carcere di Salerno in attesa dell'udienza per l'estradizione, mentre le due donne che erano con loro sono attualmente indagate in stato di libertà. All'esito delle attività sono stati sequestrati, con successiva convalida da parte dalla Procura della Repubblica di Salerno, codici e chiavi private di accesso a portafogli virtuali di criptovalute, chiavette ledger, nonché diversi dispositivi informatici.

History of Yekaterinburg

Foundation of yekaterinburg.

The territory along the Iset River, which served as a convenient transport route from the Ural Mountains deep into Siberia, has long attracted settlers. The oldest of the currently discovered settlements on the territory of present Yekaterinburg was located next to the Palkinsky Stone Tents rock massif and dates back to the 6th millennium BC.

From the 7th-3rd centuries BC, ancient metallurgists who mastered the smelting of copper lived in this settlement. Copper figures of birds, animals, people, arrowheads, various household items were found here. Later they learned how to make iron products. All discovered settlements were destroyed as a result of fires, possibly during raids of the conquerors.

The territory occupied by present Yekaterinburg became part of Russia in the middle of the 17th century. At that time, it had practically no permanent population. The first Russian settlements were founded in the second half of the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the first ironworks were built here.

In the spring of 1723, by decree of Emperor Peter I, the construction of the largest iron-making plant in Russia began on the banks of the Iset River. Construction began on the initiative of Vasily Tatishchev (a prominent Russian statesman). He was supported by Georg Wilhelm de Gennin (a German-born Russian military officer and engineer), on the initiative of which the fortress plant was named Yekaterinburg in honor of Empress Catherine I (Yekaterina in Russian), the wife of Peter I.

More Historical Facts…

The historic birthday of Yekaterinburg is November 18, 1723. On this day, a test run of the plant equipment was carried out. Its main products included iron, cast iron, and copper. In 1725, the Yekaterinburg Mint began production on the territory of the fortress and became the main producer of copper coins in the Russian Empire. Until 1876, it produced about 80% of the country’s copper coins. In the 1720s, the population of Yekaterinburg was about 4,000 people.

Yekaterinburg - one of the economic centers of the Russian Empire

In the middle of the 18th century, the first ore gold in Russia was discovered in this region, which was the beginning of the gold industry in the country. As a result, Yekaterinburg became the center of a whole system of densely located plants and began to develop as the capital of the mining region, which spread on both sides of the Ural Range.

In 1781, Catherine II granted Yekaterinburg the status of a county town in the Perm Governorate. The population of the town was about 8,000 people. In 1783, the town received a coat of arms depicting an ore mine and a melting furnace, which symbolized its mining and metallurgical industries (similar images are depicted on the current coat of arms and flag of Yekaterinburg).

In 1783, the Great Siberian Road was opened - the main road of the Russian Empire that passed through Yekaterinburg. It served as an impetus for the transformation of Yekaterinburg into a transport hub and a center of trade. Thus, Yekaterinburg, among other towns of the Perm Governorate, became the key town for the development of the boundless and rich Siberia, the “window to Asia”, just as St. Petersburg was the Russian “window to Europe.”

In 1808, the Yekaterinburg plant was closed, and the history of the town entered a new stage related to the development of a large regional center with a diversified economy. At the beginning of the 19th century, the gold mining industry flourished. At the same time, deposits of emeralds, sapphires, aquamarines, diamonds, and other precious, semiprecious, and ornamental stones were discovered in the Urals. Yekaterinburg became one of the world centers for their artistic processing.

After the abolition of serfdom in 1861, the mining industry of the Urals experienced a severe crisis, a number of plants were closed. In 1878, the first railway was constructed across the Urals and connected Yekaterinburg with Perm. In 1888, the Yekaterinburg-Tyumen railway was built, and in 1897 - the railway to Chelyabinsk, which provided access to the Trans-Siberian Railway. Yekaterinburg became a major railway junction, which contributed to the development of the local food industry, especially flour milling. In 1913, the population of Yekaterinburg was about 69,000 people.

Yekaterinburg in the first years of Soviet power

On November 8, 1917, Soviet power was established in Yekaterinburg. On April 30, 1918, the last Russian emperor Nicholas II and his family members with a few servants were transported from Tobolsk to Yekaterinburg. They were placed in the “House of Special Purpose”, the mansion of engineer Nikolai Ipatiev requisitioned for this purpose, and transferred under the supervision and responsibility of the Ural Regional Soviet.

In July 1918, units of the White Siberian army approached Yekaterinburg, under this pretext the leadership of the Ural Regional Soviet decided to shoot the imperial family. On the night of July 16-17, 1918, it was done in the basement of the Ipatiev House.

10 days later, units of the Czechoslovak Legion entered Yekaterinburg. Over the next 12 months, it was under the control of anti-Bolshevik forces. On July 14, 1919, the Red Army reoccupied the city. Soviet authorities and the Yekaterinburg Province with a center in Yekaterinburg were restored. In 1920, the population of the city was about 94,400 people.

The political center of the Urals moved from Perm to Yekaterinburg. In 1923, Yekaterinburg became the administrative center of the vast Ural Oblast, which in size exceeded the territory of the present Ural Federal District of Russia. In 1924, the city council decided to rename the capital of the new region to Sverdlovsk - in honor of Yakov Sverdlov, a Bolshevik party administrator and chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.

Sverdlovsk - a Soviet industrial giant

During the years of Stalin’s industrialization, Sverdlovsk was turned into a powerful industrial center. The old factories were reconstructed and new large factories were built, including giant machine-building and metal processing plants. In 1933, the construction of the future flagship of Soviet engineering (Uralmash) was completed. The population of Sverdlovsk grew by more than 3 times, and it became one of the fastest growing cities in the USSR.

January 17, 1934, Ural Oblast was divided into three regions - Sverdlovsk Oblast with a center in Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast with a center in Chelyabinsk, and Ob-Irtysh Oblast with a center in Tyumen. By the end of the 1930s, there were 140 industrial enterprises, 25 research institutes, 12 higher educational institutions in Sverdlovsk. In 1939, the population of the city was about 425,500 people.

Along with other Ural cities, Sverdlovsk made a significant contribution to the victory of the USSR in the Second World War. In total, more than 100,000 residents of the city joined the Red Army. 41,772 people didn’t return from the war: 21,397 - killed in battles, 4,778 - died from wounds in hospitals, 15,491 - went missing, 106 - died in prisoner of war camps.

Sverdlovsk became the largest evacuation point, more than 50 large and medium enterprises from the western regions of Russia and Ukraine were evacuated here. During the war years, industrial production in Sverdlovsk grew 7 times.

After the war, this city became the largest center for engineering and metalworking in Russia. During the Cold War, Sverdlovsk, as a key center of the defense industry, was practically closed to foreigners. In 1960, in the sky above the city, Soviet air defense shot down the U-2 spy plane of the US manned by Francis Gary Powers.

On January 23, 1967, a millionth resident was born in the city and Sverdlovsk became one of the first Russian cities with a population of more than 1 million people. In 1979, Sverdlovsk was included in the list of historical cities of Russia.

On October 4, 1988, a serious accident occurred at the Sverdlovsk railway station. The train carrying almost 100 tons of explosives rolled downhill and crashed into a coal freight train. An explosion occurred, aggravated by the proximity of a large warehouse of fuels and lubricants. The funnel at the site of the explosion had a diameter of 40-60 meters and a depth of 8 meters, the shock wave spread 10-15 kilometers. The explosion killed 4 people at the station and injured more than 500 people. About 600 houses were severely damaged.

Yekaterinburg - one of the largest cities of the Russian Federation

On September 4, 1991, the Sverdlovsk City Council of People’s Deputies decided to return the city its original name - Yekaterinburg. The population of the city was about 1,375,000 people. The restrictions on foreign visitors to the city were also lifted, and soon the first consulate general was opened here - the United States of America (in 1994).

The transition to a market economy led to a reduction in production at industrial enterprises, inert giant plant found themselves in a particularly difficult situation. In 1991, the construction of the television tower was stopped. The city was flooded with chaotic small retail trade in temporary pavilions and markets. These years were the heyday of organized crime, Yekaterinburg became one of the “criminal capitals” of Russia. The economic situation began to improve by the end of the 1990s.

In 2000-2003, the Church on Blood in Honour of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land was built on the site of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg. In 2008-2009, the Koltsovo Airport was reconstructed. In June 15-17, 2009, SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) and BRIC (Brasilia, Russia, India, China) summits were held in Yekaterinburg.

In 2015, the Presidential Center of Boris Yeltsin, the first president of Russia, was opened in Yekaterinburg. On March 24, 2018, the abandoned unfinished television tower was dismantled. It was the tallest building in the city (almost 240 meters) and became one of the symbols of Yekaterinburg. 4 matches of FIFA World Cup 2018 were played in Yekaterinburg.

Today, Yekaterinburg is the largest center of attraction not only of Sverdlovsk Oblast, but also of the surrounding regions. By some socio-economic indicators, this city ranks third in Russia, after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Along with the development of trade and business, the city lost the status of the country’s largest industrial center.

Yekaterinburg - Features

Yekaterinburg is located in the floodplain of the Iset River on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals in Asia, near its border with Europe, about 1,800 km east of Moscow. Since the Ural Mountains are very old, there are no significant hills in the city.

This relief was a favorable condition for the construction of the main transport routes from Central Russia to Siberia (the Siberian Route and the Trans-Siberian Railway) through Yekaterinburg. As a result, it has become one of the most strategically important centers of Russia, which still provides a link between the European and Asian parts of the country.

Yekaterinburg is located in the border zone of temperate continental and continental climates. It is characterized by a sharp variability in weather conditions with well-defined seasons. The Ural Mountains, despite their low height, block the way to the masses of air coming from the west from the European part of Russia.

As a result, the Middle Urals is open to the invasion of cold Arctic air and continental air of the West Siberian Plain. At the same time, warm air masses of the Caspian Sea and the deserts of Central Asia can freely enter this territory from the south.

That is why the city is characterized by sharp temperature fluctuations and the formation of weather anomalies: in winter from severe frosts to thaws and rains, in summer from heat above plus 35 degrees Celsius to frosts. The average temperature in January is minus 12.6 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19 degrees Celsius.

The city has a rather unfavorable environmental situation due to air pollution. In 2016, Yekaterinburg was included in the list of Russian cities with the worst environmental situation by this indicator. Car emissions account for more than 90% of all pollution.

Yekaterinburg ranks third in Russia (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) in the number of diplomatic missions, while their consular districts extend far beyond Sverdlovsk Oblast, and serve other regions of the Urals, Siberia, and the Volga region.

In terms of economy, Yekaterinburg also ranks third in the country. It is one of the largest financial and business centers of Russia. The main branches of production: metallurgical production and metalworking, food production, production of electrical equipment, electronic and optical equipment, production of vehicles, production of machinery and equipment, chemical production.

Almost all types of urban public transport are presented in Yekaterinburg: buses, trolleybuses, trams, subways, taxis. Yekaterinburg is the third largest transportation hub in Russia: 6 federal highways, 7 main railway lines, as well as Koltsovo International Airport, one of the country’s largest airports. The location of Yekaterinburg in the central part of the region allows you to get from it to any major city of the Urals in 7-10 hours.

Yekaterinburg has an extensive scientific and technical potential, it is one of the largest scientific centers in Russia. The Presidium and about 20 institutes of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 66 research institutes, and about 30 universities are located here.

This city is a relatively large tourist center. A significant part of tourists visit it to honor the memory of the last Russian emperor and his family killed by the Bolsheviks in the basement of the Ipatiev House in 1918.

There are about 50 different museums in Yekaterinburg. One of the world’s largest collections of constructivist architectural monuments has been preserved here. In total, there are over 600 historical and cultural monuments in the city, of which 43 are objects of federal significance. The City Day of Yekaterinburg is celebrated on the third Saturday of August.
