Corsica, Propriano

Propriano's marina sits at the head of the Valinco Gulf in south-west Corsica, framed by wild, unspoilt coastline that you can explore by boat straight from the dock. It's your launching point for cruising the protected shores around Sartène, with the rugged interior towns of Zonza and Figari just inland if you want to mix sea with mountain scenery. The nearby port of Porto-Pollo offers a quieter anchorage with 100 berths if you're after something more low-key.
