| FREE TIME ON ELBA |
| Elba offers a large number of free-time activities, and APF students receive special discounts on the following: |
| DIVING The coasts of Elba are ideal for every kind of underwater sport. The southern coast is especially good as the different depths of the water and the many reefs make diving more interesting than off the northern coast where the seafloor drops steeply. While studying Italian, you may also earn a certificate at one of Elba 's many diving schools. |
| WINDSURFING AND SAILING Elba 's sailing schools offer many courses in windsurfing and sailing. Experienced windsurfers may rent boards and experienced sailors boats to enjoy Elba 's beautiful sites from offshore. |
| HORSEBACK RIDING In and near Porto Azzurro there are many riding schools where you can take riding lessons or go on excursions on horseback. |
