PORTO VECCHIO IN CORSICA
At the southern tip of the island, impressive cliffs separate the land from the sea – an unforgettable sight. Porto Vecchio, also known as the Saint-Tropez of Corsica, is considered one of the most popular destinations on the island and the center of tourism, especially in the high season. Whether hidden sandy bays or idyllic stretches of coastline, only a few minutes away from the marina, the sea is as clear as in the Caribbean. Around the urban harbor you will find numerous trendy restaurants and fashion boutiques. At dusk, the port city really comes alive: The numerous stores and outdoor cafés in the alleys of the old town are open until midnight and invite you to linger.
