With a shortage of supply in the peak season, many opt for villas and hotels a short distance away by car.
		Bars and Restaurants There is a good choice of bars and restaurants in Bonifacio. Some of the eateries around the marina cater towards the wealthy international yachting community. This is also the centre for nightlife in Bonifacio. Eating out is cheaper in the Old Town with a range of traditional Corsican restaurants to choose from.

		History Bonifacio has a fascinating history which dates back to the Neolithic and its dramatic setting is thought to have inspired the vicious Laestrygonians described in Homer's Odyssey. Officially founded in 828 AD by the Tuscan Count Bonifacio, the town was subsequently ruled by Pisans, Genoese and French, each impacting on the character of this deeply historical town.
