Setting sail from Nice
Nice enjoys a marvellous setting on one of the most glorious stretches of the Côte d'Azur, the sweeping Bay of Angels, so it's no wonder that tourists have been flocking here since the 19th century. A stroll along the waterfront Promenade des Anglais, flanked by palm trees on one side and the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean on the other, is the quintessential Niçois experience, and one we'll never tire of. Do try and make some time to explore the old town as well though; it's a maze of wonderfully winding streets, some of which may be barely wide enough to squeeze through after that hearty seafood lunch!
20 September
Italy: Portofino
This tiny village on the Ligurian coast must be one of the most photographed spots in Italy, and no wonder; brightly coloured houses cling to the hillside overlooking a delightfully picturesque little harbour, where fishing boats gently bob alongside luxury yachts.
21 September
France: Propriano
Propriano is a small town on the south west coast of Corsica, with a pleasant waterfront where yachts and fishing boats bob in the harbour. There are some fantastic beaches nearby, including the stunning bay at Campomoro, and the beautiful hill town of Sartène is just a short drive away.
22 September
Italy: Alghero
The Sardinian city of Alghero is home to one of the loveliest old towns in the Mediterranean, with its cobbled lanes, elegant churches and golden sandstone architecture. The city was ruled for some 300 years by the Crown of Aragon and retains a uniquely Hispanic feel, with a dialect of Catalan still spoken by some locals.
23 September
France: L'Île-Rousse
L'Île-Rousse was founded by Corsican statesman Pasquale Paoli in 1758 as a rival to Genoese-controlled Calvi, and wandering the atmospheric streets of the old town is the main attraction. The town takes its name from the red rocks on which it sits, and we recommend worth walking up to the Île de Pedra lighthouse for the wonderful views.
24 September
France: Sanary-sur-Mer
The pretty Provençal fishing village of Sanary-sur-Mer is an agreeable place to spend a day, with a clutch of historic buildings and a lively open-air market. Sanary also has a fine literary heritage, home to a number of exiled German writers during the 1930s, and it was here that Aldous Huxley wrote ‘Brave New World’.
25 September to 26 September
France: Saint Tropez
Ever since Brigitte Bardot put Saint Tropez on the map with the seminal ‘And God Created Woman’ in 1956, this diminutive fishing village on the French Riviera has been a magnet for the international glitterati.
26 September
