The historic town centre has a wide range of restaurants, bars and shops and is exciting to visit year-round. The more modern parts of the town have the large super- and other markets that you expect from a well-developed French city. The only downside is the lack of space that this growing city finds within the surrounding mountains and in consequence the large traffic jams that you have to deal with during the day. This can cost some nerves when arriving late in the day wishing to get to the coast to squeeze in a surf session.
The southwestern end of the bay has some more sandy beaches before coastline starts to get the rugged again south of the Punta Di Porticcio. Here another mountain ridge comes to the sea resulting in another wild combination of steep cliffs, small bays, high inland mountains and lots of curves on the few roads passing this area.
The southern part of Corsica is generally a bit less mountainous by Corse means, but the topography stays a constant up and down with plenty of steep ascents. Just the sheer height of the mountains by far does not the reach the summit marks of the north.
