ACTIVITIES
White fishing boat moored near dramatic white limestone cliffs in Corsica, Lecci near Villas Lantana

BOAT TRIP TO BONIFACIO



Boats are accessible via a removable aluminum ramp, and you'll also be helped by the boat staff.

The Lavezzi islands are not accessible at all, but there are plenty of other tours.

This is clearly one of the activities not to be missed during your stay in South Corsica 😊

Visit Bonifacio



The port is wheelchair-accessible, and there's a toilet in the main parking lot near the port. You won't be able to get between the port and the upper town in a wheelchair, so you'll need to take your car. There is PRM parking in the upper town. As this is an old town, most of the streets in the upper town are cobbled and steep, and the restaurants are not accessible. You'll have to go to the port to eat.

Work has been carried out recently, and much of the town is now easily accessible to people with reduced mobility. Only the "Shanka bar" and the "Bon coin" on Church Square have adapted toilets. Only a few stores are accessible. The easiest place to park is the "Santa Catalina" parking lot to the south of town.
