Porto

Porto is one of the most sought after tourist villages on the island of Corsica and has a distinctive quality created by the groves of eucalyptus, the sweet-scented maquis and the towering mountains which surround it. The original village is one kilometre from the sea and has a few shops, bars and night clubs. Its small marina by the main street is the focal point of the resort. The deep, wide shingle beach is a ten minutes stroll from the marina across a wooden bridge. Serriera is just five kilometres inland from Porto and is a haven of peace and tranquillity. The Eden Park is the area’s most prestigious hotel and is enveloped by a mature, maquis forest. The striking coastline, dotted with caves and towering rock pinnacles, separates the remarkable and contrasting colours of the verdant maquis from the cobalt-blue sea.
