Located just west of Cap Pertusato, the southernmost point of the island of Corsica, Bonifacio lies on a narrow limestone peninsula separated from the rest of the island by an expanse of thick underbrush. More Italian in feeling then French, Bonifacio is only 12 km from the northern tip of Sardinia and offers visitors some of the most stunning views available in the Mediterranean.The harbor area is populated by cafes, restaurants and boutiques, with boats transporting visitors to and from the neighboring islands. Steps lead visitors from the harbor to the city’s Old Town.
