St. Florent

The Sailing Harbor of Saint-Florent is nestling at the foot of the Cap Corse, at the end of a Gulf which wear its name, lined-up at the west by the Desert of the Agriates. Today, it is a popular summer vacation spot for many tourists because of its proximity to the famous Patrimonio vineyards and one of the most beautiful beaches on the Mediterranean coast, Saleccia.

Attractions

Visit the cathedral of the Nebbio region in St. Florent, Santa Maria Assunta. It was built by the Pisans in the 12th century, on the site of the ancient Roman city that existed before St. Florent. The Desert des Agriates is a landscape of wild maquis and rocky cliffs. Take a boat trip to one of its beaches, inaccessible by car, or rent a boat yourself to explore the hidden coastline around the town. Spend a leisurely afternoon visiting a vineyard in the pretty village of Patrimonio, and tasting the superb wines. The Patrimonio region is most famous for its vineyards, much of Corsica's best wine being produced in this area.
