At the
southern tip of Corsica is the ancient fortress town of Bonifacio. Its
superb location on a narrow peninsula of dazzling white limestone at
Corsica's southernmost point creates a town site unlike any other on the
island. Bonifacio was established in the 12th century, but an earlier
settlement existed in Roman times. The name originated with Count Bonifacio
of Tuscany, who built a castle on the peninsula in 828.
Pier Information
Shopping
Cuisine
Bonifacio is comprised of the upper town, or Haute-Ville,
whose narrow cobblestone streets are lined by stately buildings, and the
lower town, consisting of the port, a marina, and numerous restaurants and
shops.
Guests will be taken ashore via the ship's tenders. The
landing pier is close to the marina, with its shops and restaurants and
the famous blue lobsters at the Aquariam. The upper town can be reached
via a long flight of stairs by the Church St. Erasme at the marina,
arriving near the entrance of the upper town.
The wood from chestnut and juniper trees is used by local
artisans to craft nice souvenirs. Several shops in the upper town offer
a good selection of these beautiful carvings.
Numerous restaurants along Quay Comparetti in the marina
area offer fresh seafood, pizza, typical French menus and Corsican
specialties. The bars and cafes here are the social focus for much of
the day and the evening. Eateries in the upper town are less pretentious
and less expensive.
