Port De Propriano
Port de
Propriano, a delightful coastal gem nestled on the French island of Corsica,
offers
a relaxing and scenic escape. This charming port town lies on the southwestern
coast of Corsica, between the vibrant cities of Ajaccio and Bonifacio. Though a
small village existed here centuries ago, most of the town's current
development occurred in the late 19th century with the establishment of a
pleasure port and the opening of a road connecting Ajaccio and Bonifacio.
Begin your
exploration with a stroll around the picturesque harbor. Colorful tall houses
overlook pleasure boats, creating a postcard-perfect scene. Climb the steps
behind the harbor to reach the historic Church of Notre Dame de
la Misericorde and enjoy panoramic views across the town's rooftops.
For those
seeking relaxation, head to Lido Beach, located just a short distance north of the town center. Sink
your toes into the fine sands and dip into the crystal-clear waters of the Golfe de
Valinco. Explore other nearby beaches, such as Portigliolo, or embark on
a rewarding journey with breathtaking coastal views by walking to the stunning Cala d'Agulia
beach from Campomoro.
As the day
comes to an end, Propriano offers a relaxed nightlife scene with bars and cafes
where you can unwind with a cocktail or enjoy live music overlooking the
harbor.
