Propriano

Propriano blends the working character of a Corsican port with the relaxed tempo of a seaside resort in a way that reflects its position at the head of the Gulf of Valinco on Corsica’s southwest coast. The town spreads from its waterfront harbour towards low, maquis-covered hills, while the gulf opens westward to the Mediterranean. Boats, quayside cafés and beaches keep the shoreline central to daily life. Inland from the bay, the prehistoric site of Filitosa, known for its carved granite statues, places this part of Corsica in a far older human story. Propriano is also a practical base for exploring the Valinco coast and the rugged interior around Sartène.
