In southwest Corsica, trees cover nearly half the countryside that surrounds Propriano, and dramatic, rocky mountain peaks soar up to 8,900 feet. Nestled on the clear, tranquil waters of the Gulf of Valinco, Propriano is a tiny fishing village turned charming seaside retreat for travelers looking to enjoy the area’s spectacular beaches or explore the incredible sights beyond. Steep yourself in Corsican culture on a visit to Sartène, a mountain village with magnificent views, or Bonifacio, a charming medieval town perched on dramatic limestone cliffs. Or travel back in time as you explore nearby megalithic ruins dating back to 3300 BC.
