Ferry from Toulon to Alcudia

Toulon Guide

The French city of Toulon lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast in the south of France. It is a major French naval base and consequently has a large military harbour which is home to the French Navy aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle and her battle group along with the rest of the French Mediterranean Fleet. Toulon's history has strong links with many industries including shipbuilding, wine making, armaments, paper, maps, shoes, electronic equipment and the manufacture of aeronautical equipment.

Toulon's Old Town is located between the port, the Boulevard de Strasbourg and the Cours Lafayette, and is characterised by narrow streets, fountains and small squares and is where the city's cathedral is located. Selling local produce every morning, the area is also home to the popular Provencal market. Unfortunately the area fell into disrepair during the 1980's and 1990's but fortunately many of the town's fountains and squares have since been restored which has attracted many new shops to open up.

The city's port has two ferry terminals and has good passenger facilities including cafes, vending machines, a snack bar, toilets and long stay and short stay car parking. Ferry services operating from the port depart to Ajaccio, Bastia, Ile Rousse and Civitavecchia.

Alcudia Guide

The town of Alcudia is located on the Spanish island of Majorca, which is one of the Balearic Islands. The 14th century wall around the old town is a popular visitor attraction and once on top of it, it is almost possible to follow it around the town. Other popular attractions in the town include the remains of a Roman town located just outside the town's walls, which is opposite the Church of St Jaume. To the north of the town is a 19th century bull ring and in the old town on Sundays and Tuesdays is a market which is always a hive of activity. Located within the town's walls visitors will find a number of lovely restaurants, cafes and bars, mainly located around the marina.

Ferry services departing from the town's port travel to Barcelona, Denia and Valencia. Crossing times to these destinations can take up to 7 hours by conventional ferry which is reduced to around 3 hours if a fast ferry is taken.
