Porto Vecchia


Corsica is the 4th largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily and Sardinia. The very mountainous island includes 20 peaks that rise over 2000 metres. Corsica has all the attributes of a mini continent with its tropical palm trees, vineyards and orange groves, forests of chestnut and indigenous pine, alpine lakes and cool mountain torrents filled with trout.


The port is Porto Vecchio founded in 1539. 1/3 of Corisicas' wine comes from here but the main industry is tourism in this gorgeous port.
