Propriano Holidays

Propriano sits on the southwestern coast of Corsica, about halfway between the two much larger towns of Bonifacio and Ajaccio. As such, it has many of the charms of a large resort, but in miniature. It’s popular for its access to excellent beaches, and for its calm, relaxing atmosphere. Propriano holidays might start with a stroll past the prettily painted townhouses overlooking the harbour, but will almost certainly shift focus to the resort’s fantastic selection of beaches.

The Lido, just north of town, is the main beach, but there are also long sandy stretches nearby at Campomoro, Porto Pollo and Cala d’Agulia. Places of interest around Propriano include the picturesque hillside village of Olmeto, the prehistoric site Filitosa, which is home to extraordinary megaliths – standing stones carved with faces – and the lively medieval quarter of Sartene. Whether you’re a family after a laid-back beach break or an adventurous couple looking for a cultural hit, holidays to Propriano are an exciting prospect.
