Piana excursion: Discover the villages of Tiuccia, Sagone & Cargèse

The excursion begins with a crossing of the San Bastiano pass, offering breathtaking views over the village of Pevani. A first stop at Tiuccia allows you to explore the ruins of the Capigliolo fortress and the Capigliolo Genoese tower, on an easy stroll. Continue along the coast, admiring the wild coastline, to Sagone, then arrive in Cargèse, a Greek and Latin village with two splendid churches. Stroll through the old town, stroll along the fishing port and enjoy a stroll along the "chemin de Puntiglione", a pleasant footpath.

Excursion to the Calanques de Piana: spectacular scenery

Continue your exploration to Piana, where you'll discover a typical Corsican village famous for its calanques. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to spot a herd of Corsican goats frolicking freely. The calanques of Piana are a true natural masterpiece, with cliffs of orange-red rock plunging into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Admire the striking contrast between the colors of the maquis and the Laricii pines. Don't miss the famous "heart in the rock" and "dog's head", natural rock formations that fascinate visitors. Numerous signposted walks allow you to explore this exceptional area even further.

Gulf of Porto: Finish in style with a visit to the navy and the Genoese tower

The final leg of this tour takes you to Porto, a picturesque village in the heart of the Gulf of Porto. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the gulf offers exceptional panoramic views of the sea and its breathtaking cliffs. Stroll through Porto's marina, discover the grey sandy beach and the square Genoese tower that dominates the village. Porto is also an ideal starting point for a boat trip to Girolata or the Scandola nature reserve. Take the opportunity to explore the villages of Ota and Evisa, as well as the Aitone forest and the Spelunca gorges.
