Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula situated in the Mediterranean Sea at the bottom of Western Europe, with the Tyrrhenian Sea to the West, Ionian Sea to the South and Adriatic Sea to the East. Italy is the fifth most visited country in the world and contains more World Heritage Sites than any other country. Although Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence are the top tourist destinations in Italy, the country’s rich collections of art, culture and literature from many different periods and regions make it impossible to judge on where the most interesting location is. With around four thousand miles of coastline, with countless gulfs, inlets, and long sandy beaches, Italy is truly adapted to the vacation lovers every need. Coastal cities with their sea resorts and awesome beaches are easily reachable by car with a variety of ferries and vessels large and small ready to sail you there.

Departures from France are available from the ports of Toulon, Nice and Marseille. Crossings operate daily, year round, and increase with demand around peak season. Crossings from Italy depart the ports of Savona and Genoa in the north and Livorno and Piombino on the west coast of Italy. As with the crossings from France, due to Corsica’s popularity as a destination, there are year round connections to the island, increasing during the summer period. In additions, there is also a ferry crossing bridging the short gap to Sardinia, south of Corsica. The majority of ferry passengers arrive by car, though vehicles can be rented from most port towns.
