The city of Porto Vecchio is located in the Corse-du-Sud department of France, on the island of Corsica. It is around 65 km to the east of Sartene and epitomises Corsica's reputation as the "island of beauty and of contrasts". The fashionable city, sometimes known as the "St. Tropez" or Corsica, is a popular tourist destination, especially with Italians, and is the perfect destination to relax or to party.
To ensure tranquillity, then head off to one of the island's remote coves or head up into the mountains and take in the beautiful and varied terrain. One of the many attractions of Porto Vecchio is its proximity to the glorious Alta Rocca mountainous region of Corsica. A short drive from the city will take visitors into the spectacular mountain of the region where activities such as hiking, rock climbing, fishing, horse riding, quad biking are possible. For a more sedate way of passing time in the mountains why not take a picnic and relax or take a dip in one of the many crystal clear rock pools.
Ferry services from the town's port depart to Marseille and Toulon on the French mainland.
