Nice welcomes you with its Mediterranean charm and beautiful beaches. Walk along the famous Promenade des Anglais, wander through the old town with its colorful streets and lively markets, and enjoy great local food. With its mild weather all year, Nice is a wonderful place to start your journey, combining French elegance with natural beauty.

Porto Venere is a beautiful seaside village on the Italian coast, famous for its colorful waterfront houses and medieval history. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it features the impressive Church of San Pietro, sitting on a rocky cliff above the sea. The historic castle and narrow streets give the town a special feel. Nearby, Palmaria Island offers great walking trails and clear waters for swimming.

Portoferraio is the main town on Elba, known as the place where Napoleon lived in exile. From his historic villa, you can look out over the harbor just as he once did. You can also take an optional tour to a local vineyard or see the ancient ruins of the Etruscan civilization nearby. The island is rich in history and beautiful landscapes.

Bonifacio is a stunning town in southern Corsica, known for its medieval buildings and high limestone cliffs. Built high above the Mediterranean Sea, the town offers amazing views of the clear waters and nearby islands. The beautiful harbor below is a great place to walk around, look at the boats, and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.

Alghero is a popular coastal city in northwest Sardinia, featuring a beautiful medieval center. Its lively historic streets are full of excellent cafés and restaurants, making it a great place to relax. It is also an ideal starting point to visit the nearby beaches of the Riviera del Corallo. You might even hear locals speaking a form of the Catalan language, a reminder of the city's Spanish past.

Ajaccio is Corsica's capital, located on the island's west coast. It is a lively port city with a calm Mediterranean feel. Famous as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, the city is full of cultural history. Stroll its charming stone streets, visit the local markets, and enjoy a unique mix of nature, history, and great food.

Located right on the border between France and Italy, Menton charms visitors with its colorful houses, green gardens, and calm atmosphere. Walk through the bright old town, stroll along the pedestrian streets filled with cafés, or relax on the beach by the Promenade des Sablettes. Known for its warm climate, Menton is famous for growing lemons and exotic flowers. It perfectly combines French style with Italian warmth, offering beautiful scenery on the French Riviera.

Return to Nice to end your cruise. Take a final walk along the Promenade des Anglais, stop for a coffee in the old town, or find a quiet spot by the sea. It is a wonderful and relaxing way to finish your week of coastal sailing and sightseeing.
