Extract from the Portoferraio Travel Guides:
PORTOFERRAIO
is the hub of the island's transport system, has an atmospheric old quarter of stepped alleys and old churches, and lives a life quite separate from the hectic comings-and-goings of the huge ferries which dock nearby. All
boats
slide past the old quarter with its Medici-built harbour to dock at the main Calata Italia. The tallest building in town - an unmissable Fifties-style eyesore known as the
Grattacielo
(skyscraper) - rises ten storeys above the quay, and houses the island's main
tourist office
(tel 0565.914.671,
www.arcipelago.turismo.toscana.it
)... read the whole Portoferraio Travel Guides...
