Name: Katie Location: Hampshire Date of Holiday: Sep 08 Bonifacio is an amazing town, dramatically built right on the cliff edge. There's a great mixture of history and places to shop and eat (although beware of some extortionate tourist prices!). It gets exceptionally busy, so visit as early as possible in the morning to avoid the masses (and the heat). There's an attractive marina with some very flash yachts, where hourly boat trips to view Bonifacio from the sea (plus visit other locations such as Lavezzi islands) are definitely worthwhile. They provide written guides in English. If you park down by the marina, bear in mind you have to walk up a steep slope to get to the Old Town - not ideal in hot weather! I think there are some car parks higher up on same level as the Old Town. We stayed outside of Bonifacio, however the good roads nearby make travelling around this part of Corsica really easy. There are loads of different beaches to choose from in the area. We preferred those up towards Porto-Vecchio on the south-east coast as they're generally more sheltered from the winds and very beautiful. If you like windsurfing, then head for the beaches such a Piantarella, one of the closest beaches to Bonifacio. All in all was a great holiday with plenty of things to do, with good food and friendly locals. We'll definitely be coming back to this part of Corsica, and look forward to exploring some more beaches in the area - as wasn't time to visit them all!
