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.
The Italian city of Civitavecchia lies on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast in the Lazio region of the country. The city, which is home to just under 60,000 residents, is home to a cruise and ferry port and is located around 80 km to the north west of Rome. The city can trace its port's history back over one thousand years to 101-108 AD, when the Emperor Trajan ordered the port of Centumcellae to be built in order to accommodate deepwater shipping for the Roman capital. After this period, they fell under the rule of a number of different Counts and Popes.
In the city visitors will find examples of restored medieval and Baroque structures which includes the large Forte Michelangelo which is a fortress that was commissioned by pope Giulio II in the early 16th century and the 17th century defensive walls behind the port. The wall forms one side of the Lungoporto Gramsci which is an elevated pedestrian walkway. From here there are excellent views to be had of the cruise ships and ferry basins in the port.
Car and passenger ferries link Civitavecchia to Sardinia, Sicily, and other destinations within Italy and abroad.
