Propriano is a small yet scenic and cozy town located on the coast of the Gulf of Valinco on the island of Corsica, the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Its beaches with white-sand and the gulf’s clean, calm waters attract a huge number of tourists from all over the world. Such popularity of the Propriano resort is also due to the hospitality of the locals, who number just over 3 000 people in the town.
According to historians, the first settlers appeared in these lands as early as the Bronze Age. The Gulf of Valinco was a tempting prize for numerous conquerors and pirates who wanted to establish a mooring for their military and trading ships in the quiet waters. Countless raids and robberies turned Propriano into almost a pile of rubble.
Before the beginning of the 20th century, the resort-so popular today-was a small village where locals barely managed to make ends meet by fishing. Everything changed at the moment when entrepreneurs working in the tourism industry set their sights on the unremarkable village. Almost overnight, Propriano became one of the most attractive resorts for tourists. The mild, health-giving Mediterranean climate, the cleanest beaches, a wide variety of activities, shops, restaurants, bars, and the opportunity to explore Corsica’s attractions and culture draw отдыхающих here from all corners of our vast planet.
