AJACCIO

DAY 4

Cruising further south along Corsica’s western coast will bring you to Ajaccio.
The core of the old town is a cluster of ancient streets spreading north and south of Place Foch, which opens out to the seafront by the port and the marina Place Foch displays a statue of Napoléon Bonaparte, the work of Massimiliano Laboureur.
The white marble statue stands on the fountain of four lions, designed by Jerome Maglioli.
In rue Bonaparte, adjacent to the Place Foch, there is a statue of the Virgin of Mercy that has protected Ajaccio since 1656 and is celebrated each year on March 18th.
Each morning, the Place houses the market where one can purchase fresh, local products.
Your chef will have already visited the market and stocked the boat with provisions, so you can try more of the local delicacies at dinner.

BONIFACIO

Head to the gorgeous pristine beach of Roccapina, with exceptionally turquoise clear waters and powder-soft white sand. Lunch is suggested at the "Table de la Plage" of the beautiful beach-fringed Murtoli Estate.
