From Nice to St. Tropez: Sailing Corsica, Sardinia & the Côte d’Azur

Portofino is a small harbor town with bright buildings, quiet paths, and a famous waterfront square. Around the harbor, you'll find cafés, shops, and boats moored side by side. Walk up to the Church of St. George for coastal views and a sense of the town's long history.

Propriano sits between the sea and hills on Corsica's southwest coast. The marina is shared by yachts and fishing boats, and the town center is lined with cafés, bars, and local shops. It's a good place for a walk, a meal, and a view of Corsican life by the water.

Alghero is one of Sardinia's best-known coastal towns, with medieval walls, narrow lanes, and a lively promenade. The town reflects Catalan influence in both language and design. Enjoy local seafood, explore historic streets, or visit one of the nearby beaches along the Riviera del Corallo.

Calvi is known for its large stone citadel and seaside setting. Behind the harbor lies a town of winding streets, squares, and views toward the mountains. Walking around, trying local dishes, or enjoying the coastline view and the calm rhythm of life here is easy.

Sanary-sur-Mer is a traditional town on the Côte d'Azur with a colorful harbor and a relaxed feel. Fishing boats line the waterfront, and the town center has small markets, cafés, and galleries. This is a place to slow down, enjoy a quiet lunch, or take a short walk along the sea.

Begin at Pampelonne Beach, known for its long sand and clear water stretch. Later, head to the port of St. Tropez—once a fishing village, now a famous resort town. Explore narrow lanes, visit the market, or enjoy the energy of this Riviera favorite, which is full of shops, cafés, and familiar charm.
