thanks all for the tips on ports of call

Have been on over 35 cruises mostly with Celebrity, RCCL, Princess.  Booked Oceania for first time on Sirena in July, 2020.  Port intensive with only one day at sea in 20 days.  Has anyone been to ports of Ajaccio (Corsica), Saint-Tropez, Ciutadella de Menorca (Spain), Ibiza, or Valencia?  Any recommendations on tours or what to see in these ports?  We don't mind going to the beach but would also like sightseeing.  My husband and I will begin the cruise in Venice and will meet 2 other couples in Civitavecchia for the July 20-30 portion.  I heard that once you check in and board the ship in Civitavecchia, you cannot leave the ship to walk around town.   I think my husband and I can leave the ship because we are on a back to back cruise, but our friends are boarding for the first time in Civitavecchia. Do they need to just check their luggage but don't board?   We encountered this situation when we cruised from Sidney, Australia.  We boarded the ship early thinking we could get out and walk around.  There was a government regulation that would not allow us to get off the ship!  Even though we spend 2 days in Sidney, we were very disappointed we could not leave the ship.  Thanks for any feedback.
