Bonifacio

— Journey —

2 h 15 from Ajaccio · helicopter 35 min

Bonifacio stands on white limestone cliffs above the Strait that separates Corsica from Sardinia — a fortified medieval town suspended over water of an almost unreal turquoise. FFGR Corsica chauffeurs the scenic coastal road from Ajaccio, or arranges a thirty-five-minute helicopter descent onto the marina above which the haute ville keeps its narrow stone streets and the King of Aragon's Staircase plunges to the sea. We coordinate private yacht charter to the Lavezzi archipelago, lunch at the Hôtel Genovese terrace, and discreet access to the Bastion de l'Étendard at the hour the day visitors have left. Bonifacio is, quite simply, the most theatrical arrival in the Mediterranean.
