With a skyline that’s partially dominated by the 13th-century Genoese citadel, the town offers panoramic views of its crescent-shaped bay and the surrounding mountains. Its marina, lined with colorful cafés and boutiques along Quai Landry, is the perfect place for people walking and leisurely strolls. The town’s rich history is further evident in landmarks like the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, and its cultural scene is vibrant, with numerous festivals throughout the year. The neighbouring sandy beaches and clear waters are ideal for swimming and snorkelling, while the nearby Revellata Peninsula offers secluded coves and hiking trails.
