Why Bonifacio matters

Bonifacio perches on white limestone cliffs that have been undercut by the sea. The old town is a maze of tall houses, narrow alleys and viewpoints, and below it is a long, narrow harbour. Boat trips go to sea caves and a group of tiny islands.

Talking points

  • Cliffs here are carved by waves and look ready to crumble.
  • On clear days you can see Sardinia.
  • Boats leave the harbour for caves and islands.
