Porto-Vecchio

Porto-Vecchio sits on the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio in southern Corsica, France, where the island’s wooded interior descends towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. The town developed around a sheltered harbour and retains a Genoese-built citadel, whose ramparts and narrow lanes overlook the modern marina. Salt production was once central to local life, and the former salt marshes remain part of Porto-Vecchio’s identity. Beyond town lie the pale-sand shores of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, while the granite uplands of the Corsican interior rise to the west.
