The town’s infrastructure is expanding every year, and today it’s safe to say that Porto-Vecchio is turning into a lively place where it’s quite possible to make a few great purchases. If you’re wondering whether shopping in Porto-Vecchio is worth it, the answer is definitely yes.
Just like the best restaurants and nightlife venues, most of the spots worth adding to your Porto-Vecchio shopping itinerary are located in the city center. While you shouldn’t expect large outlets or famous global brands, the town still has plenty to offer for those who enjoy quality shopping abroad.
In the old town center, you’ll find boutiques of local designers, shops selling leather goods, olive oil, and lavender, as well as cozy antique stores. Food lovers should visit the Marché de Porto-Vecchio market, where you can buy fresh fruit, local cheeses, sausages, and the island’s renowned Corsican wines. Shopping centers like La Galerie Géant at the entrance to the town are perfect for everyday purchases and mid-range brands.
A special pleasure is strolling through Porto-Vecchio on summer sale evenings, when the shops stay open late and offer significant discounts. And in the small artisan shops, you can always find truly authentic items — from handmade jewelry to ceramics.
