Porto Vecchio, nestled in Corsica, features a natural harbor that attracted rulers over centuries, now hosting a lively marina and port with Roman roots.
This area is framed by a charming old town and 16th-century fortifications. Despite its ideal location, Porto Vecchio remained small due to malaria-prone marshes until Allied forces drained them during World War II. Today, it’s celebrated for its stunning surroundings, including Corsica’s most beautiful beaches like Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, the forested hills of Ospedale, and the pristine Cerbicale islets nature reserve.
The coastline offers a plethora of beaches, each set against the backdrop of the southern mountains and aromatic maquis. From the secluded coves of Cala Rossa to the internationally acclaimed turquoise waters and white sands of Palombaggia, Porto Vecchio is a treasure trove of natural beauty, just a short drive from golden sandy expanses waiting to be explored.
