PORTO-VECCHIO:
EXPLORING CORSICA
Porto-Vecchio is Corsica’s third city, located in the eastern part of the island. This renowned area of spectacular beaches and natural scenery never fails to enchant yachters
Porto-Vecchio is a picturesque attraction of a Corsica charter cruise, perfect for to take a break under the sign of the historical and natural attractions of a lively seaside resort of ancient Genoese origins.
The narrow alleys and steep stairways of the old town offer several panoramic spots lined with typical restaurants and bars to hit on lovely summer evenings. Porto-Vecchio’s coves are enclosed by rocks and dense vegetation, appearing as perfect natural pools. These include the famous Palombaggia, one of Corsica’s loveliest beaches with Rondinara, featuring three kilometers of white sand and crystal-clear waters. Plage de la Folacca and Plage d’Asciaghju are secluded havens that appeal to those looking for a quiet spot to unwind.
An exploration of the coastline discloses heavenly spots, like the spectacular Bavella, or the little inlet of Stagnolu near Golfo di Sogno, the Gulf of Dream, a name that paints a perfect picture of these sites. In Porto-Vecchio inlets like the Bay of San Cipriano alternate with remote beaches like Pinarello and Olmuccio, where quiet awaits those wishing to spend a few hours of total relaxation.
Further south is Santa Giulia, a half-circle of powdery sand. A swim in these waters, rocked by the current and graced with the characteristic light breeze blowing on the Corsican shores, offers moments of absolute relaxation on a luxury yacht holiday in Corsica.
Porto-Vecchio provides a break from navigation on a charter cruise in Corsica, devoted to lovely strolls down its old streets and a dip into the clear waters of its most beautiful beaches.
