By boat
There are connections by ferry with Marseille (by Corsica Linea). See also Bonifacio for ferries to Sardinia.
By car
If driving to town in the summer months, it is best to arrive very early, before 10:00 (or even 09:00 in August) to ensure parking near the town center.
The center of Porto-Vecchio is best navigated on foot, as the town has a one-way traffic system that makes it virtually impossible to navigate by a car.
