Ship's Location
in Cruise Port:
Ancient fishing harbor becoming seaside station, Propriano remains nevertheless a city with human size.
Propriano is a Port situated in the Valinco Gulf on the French island of Corsica. The island's pleasant climate, beautiful mountains and breathtaking coastlines make it a popular destination among the French and other Western Europeans. However, the island has not had the same level of intensive development as other parts of the Mediterranean and is thus relatively unspoiled.
Visit the ‘most Corsican of Corsican towns’ – Sartene. This Medieval village is set on a mountain ridge, so the views are pretty impressive. And the town’s cobbled streets are home to lots of great sights, like the Spina Cavallu Bridge, which dates back to the 13th century.
Fresh seafood.
