Nice captivates with an enchanting blend of Mediterranean glamour and sun-drenched beaches. The famous Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coast, while the historic Vieux Nice features colorful alleyways, bustling markets, and delicious cuisine. With a mild year-round climate, the city provides a perfect escape where French elegance meets natural beauty.
Situated on the Italian Riviera, the fishing village of Portofino is defined by pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques, and seafood restaurants surrounding the Piazzetta. This small cobbled square overlooks a harbor lined with impressive super-yachts. A short walk ascends to the Church of St. George, a sanctuary with a cool, plain interior dramatically perched on the narrow neck of the headland. Historically significant as a lookout point and religious site, this location dates back thousands of years.
Porto Venere is a stunning seaside village on the Ligurian coast of Italy, known for its colorful waterfront houses and medieval charm. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it boasts the impressive Church of San Pietro, perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. The town’s historic castle and narrow, winding streets add to its timeless appeal. Nearby, the beautiful Palmaria Island offers scenic hiking trails and crystal-clear waters for swimming. Often considered a quieter alternative to Cinque Terre, Porto Venere is a hidden gem perfect for those seeking history, nature, and breathtaking coastal views.
Ile Rousse (red island) is a little town in Balagne region (northwest of Corsica), some 25 km from Calvi. It is popular with visitors but still retains its local character. Place Paoli at the center of town is a shady square bordered by tall plane trees and outdoor cafes. It is a lively spot and a great favorite with locals who gather there to play pétanque (French bowls).The old town with its traditional grid street system is also very worth a visit.
