The Phoenicians Route

Ramadoro Festival invites you to discover Elba’s west coast, its cultural and natural heritage. An itinerary among stories and traditions, creativity and talents, landscapes and local food.

An itinerant initiative entirely made possible with the support and collaboration of the local associations. From July 4 to July 19.

Typical flavors rediscovered by local producers, stories of commitment in the search for our roots, stories of characters and passion, eco-sustainable projects, original creations and works of ingenuity, and many excursions on paths reopened by volunteers to show you the extraordinary landscapes of this beautiful Italian island.
