Introducing Bonifacio
The most vivid view of Bonifacio is from aboard a boat in the sapphire-blue Bouches de Bonifacio (Strait of Bonifacio). This stunning 12km strait channels between Corsica’s southernmost tip and the Italian island of Sardinia. From the water, the tall, sun-bleached buildings of Bonifacio’s citadel appear to morph seamlessly into the serrated white limestone cliffs rising up from the sea. Within the clifftop citadel is a charming maze of alleyways with a distinct medieval feel.

A sheer 70m below, on the northern side, is Bonifacio’s vibrant port, which spills over with café terraces, shops and – as Corsica’s most visited town – more than a few tourists in summer.
