Propriano is a town on the south-western coast of Corsica. The town forms part of the Valinco Gulf, where the landscape is typically Corsican with a nice mix of rugged coastal features and white sandy beaches. Corsica still appears very much unspoilt and car hire from Propriano grants visitors a real adventure into the sublime wilderness of places like the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, which dominates the centre of the island. Hiring a car from Propriano also means that you're a short drive away from the popular Portigliolo Beach, which is just under an hour away.
Propriano is thriving with tourists thanks to its active and vibrant port. Enjoy the ambience of the local cafes and restaurants and explore what this area has to offer. For a spot of sunbathing, Portigliolo Beach and Campomoro Beach both sit on the southern side of the island, and are easily accessible if you're renting a car from Propriano. The typically quaint village of Sartène and its delightfully authentic Church Square are well worth the short journey via the N196. If you're looking for a day trip, head to Ajaccio for a taste of big city vitality, and take in the breath-taking surrounding landscape.
