Porto Vecchio, 25km north of Bonifacio is an attractive old town sculpted on to a dramatic hilltop, with views across its own beautiful deep blue bay and its small harbor below, Porto Vecchio was rated by James Boswell as one of "the most distinguished harbors in Europe".
It was founded in 1539 as a second Genoese stronghold on the east coast (Bastia being well to the north). Today Porto Vecchio is a lively centre for shopping, cafe-sitting and menu browsing and is one of Corsica’s most fashionable towns. The streets are dotted with chic boutiques offering designer fashions and the very best local produce in and Corsican wine.
When settlers first arrived in 1539, the mosquito population spread malaria and wiped out the first Ligurian settlers within months. The town thrived mainly thanks to the cork industry, which continued well into the twentieth century. A third of Corsica’s wine is exported from Porto-Vecchio. Porto Vecchio’s population quadruples in the summer months.
The old Genoese walled town of Porto Vecchio has picturesque narrow streets and high stone houses that are set within the Citadel’s ramparts. Wander the ancient streets, the Borgo, where you can see the enormous twisted tree of the Place de la Republique, the 19th century church of St-Jean Baptiste and the gallery housed within the Bastion di A Funtana Vechju
