Port summary

Smaller ships berth at the commercial port on Quai l'Herminier, next to the Gare Maritime ferry terminal; larger ships anchor in the Gulf of Valinco and tender passengers into the port. Either way you step straight onto the waterfront, and the marina, cafés and main street are 5–10 minutes' walk away. Propriano is a relaxed beach resort rather than a sightseeing town, so plan the day around what lies beyond it: Sartène's granite old town and archaeology museum (20 minutes by taxi), the menhir statues of Filitosa (30 minutes), the Genoese tower and beach at Campomoro (30 minutes) or the Cauria megaliths (40 minutes). Taxis are few and get booked up on ship days, so reserve one ahead or rent a car from the agencies by the port. Coaches to Sartène run only a few times a day. If you stay local, take a boat trip along the Valinco coast from the marina or walk 10 minutes west to the Lido beach.
