A Sophisticated Stop-off

The natural harbour of Porto Vecchio is historically beautiful. It was built by Romans, enlarged by Genoese, then enlivened by Italians selling pizzas, prosecco and gelato. (Although Corsica is technically French, Paris is a long way away.) A rainbow scatter of markets, churches and restaurants surrounds Porto Vecchio’s yacht marina. While ancient shepherd’s trails lead into Corsica’s wild interior. A Y.CO yacht charter guide can lead your group to waterfalls and rapids. Or on a nature trip to spot mouflon, osprey, wild boar and red deer.
