Ajaccio Mediterranean Cruise Packages

The island of Corsica lies between Southern France and Northern Italy. This creates an environment where the locals display a fusion of Italian and French culture. When you set sail on your Mediterranean Cruise to Ajaccio, the capital city of Corsica, you will discover a relaxed island city that is surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of opportunity for outdoor adventure. You can explore the diverse environment of Corsica on ground or underwater. There is excellent scuba diving off the coast of Ajaccio, and for those who prefer to remain on land there are many day hikes into the mountains that surround the city.

Ajaccio is the city where Napoleon Bonaparte was born, thus you will find many museums, statues, and roads that are a tribute to the military leader. If you have an interest in history, stop into the Bonaparte Museum, which is housed in the residence where Napoleon was born. This museum's exhibits are focused on the Bonaparte family history. While in Ajaccio you may observe that not all Corsicans hold Napoleon in such high regard. Many feel that he was a self serving Frenchman who overlooked his roots as a Corsican. Whatever your opinion, the city of his birth surely provides some insight into the life of a man who shaped history.

For a more lighthearted pursuit, you may prefer to stroll through the old town, stopping in boutiques, cafs, and restaurants along the way. The view from many of the attractive restaurants and cafs that face the Bay of Ajaccio is truly spectacular. Across the water you will see the stunning Iles Sanguinaires jutting out of the sea. These rugged mountainous islands provide a nice view from the city of Ajaccio. For the more adventurous traveler, a boat trip and a stroll on the islands is even better.
