Bonifacio by Land and Sea

Framed by the Mediterranean Sea on three sides, the charming medieval town of Bonifacio appears to have been carved from the limestone cliffs on which it was built. As you wander the cobbled streets that are seemingly oblivious to the passage of time, admire the rare Corsican Gothic architecture in the 13th-century Église Saint-Dominique de Bonifacio. The historic stone buildings lining the narrow lanes include the house where Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have stayed. After taking in the spectacular views from the seaside cliffs, head to the harbor for a cruise that takes you along the coastline, where you will discover beautiful coastal caves and dramatic vistas of the town from below the cliffs.
