We had a very brief one-night stopover here before heading on to Menton (France). We arrived in Porto di Portoferraio at about 0600 and tied up directly to the wall beside the Anchor monument until the morning when the harbour authorities guided us to a place on the main harbour wall. Lovely place, very efficient and amazingly cheap (offseason), it was only €30 inc. water and electric for a 55ft boat!! Loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance and lots to see and explore, but most of the attractions are closed until the 1st of April.
