Its pretty beach will welcome us for lunch. Outside of tourist periods, the beach is wild and the cows take up residence there.

Girolata
Girolata, France
As for the small village of Girolata, it has the particularity of not having a road! In fact, to get there, you come by boat or on foot via a pretty hiking trail. You will also appreciate its fort dating from the occupation of Genoa in Corsica (15th and 16th centuries): a former protective tower erected on the heights of the gulf to protect it from enemy ships.
2 hours
Piana
Piana, France
The rest of our sea trip will take us to the sublime creeks of Piana. Sometimes ocher, sometimes pink, these immense granite rocks (of volcanic origin) rise majestically above the sea. Here we are faced with what nature offers perhaps the most beautiful ... They are made up of numerous cavities of different shapes and sizes giving the places all their uniqueness. We will make you discover the pretty caves of the Calanques de Piana. A real moment of wonder in perspective.

Stop for swimming in the natural pools of Capo Rosso
To finish our sea trip, we will sail towards Capo Rosso, a sumptuous cape of pink granite enclosing the Gulf of Porto. We can then enjoy a swimming break in its natural pools. An enchanting place that leaves no one indifferent. At the top of Capo Rosso, we can see a defensive Genoese tower from the 16th century; the Tughju tower, next to the Girolata fort discovered earlier in the day. Return to Ajaccio.
