The mountains are never far away and contribute, also largely to the beauty of the landscape. Just behind the old port, one can see the ferries docking. It's a real ballet of comings and goings that is impressive to watch. When you return from your sea trip, you can also enjoy a drink in one of the bars at the foot of this port.

Ajaccio's ports have the immense advantage of being in close proximity to the airport. As soon as you arrive on the island of beauty, you can easily refuel in the port and cast off.
