General presentation
Corse-du-Sud
Beaches, mountains, villages, cliffs of Bonifacio and panoramic roads.
Bonifacio, Beaches and nearby Mountain give the most telling landmarks of South Corsica. Together, they make up a destination where island landscapes, coastline, mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 5 to 12 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: slow roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Bonifacio
Bonifacio combines high cliffs, streets of character and striking marine views. Moving from the heart of the city to the overhanging points, one understands the relationship between stone, sea and coastal history. The richest experience is built with breaks, especially where the wind changes perceptions.
Beach
Plage de Palombaggia
The beach of Palombaggia is imposed by its luminous sand expanses and the clear transition with the nearby rock formations. The best is to combine walking on the shore and recoiling on low points to vary views. The atmosphere changes rapidly according to the sea; light decides visible nuances.
City
Porto-Vecchio
Porto-Vecchio juxtaposes a lively citadel, a marina and roads that run towards the clear beaches of southern Corsica. The old center offers alleys, plots and terraces, while the salt marshes recall a more discreet history. The city is well suited as a living base between swimming, outings at sea and high evenings.
Natural site
Aiguilles de Bavella
The Aiguilles de Bavella impress with their pointed shapes, alternating lights and high paths. Gradually moving forward makes it possible to feel the geology and space that unfolds around. Each stop becomes an image in progress, especially when light plays on limestone surfaces.
