The 10 Best Bodies of Water in Corsica, France
Corsica is a laid-back French island, with a breezy vibe that’s part European weekend and part tropical honeymoon. The port city of Bastia flings its arms wide open to weary travelers disembarking from a long ferry trip. For a truly charming Corsican experience, catch a train through the mountains to the beach, passing by rustic villages and grazing cows along the way. Take a few hours or even a few weeks to explore the island’s famous walking trails, including the varsity-level GR 20.

Definitely go if you get the chance, it is very beautiful. It’s a hike a bit longer than 1 hr to get to the pools, easy in the beginning, becoming more challenging towards the end as lots of climbing on the rocks is required. Climb as far as you can, don’t stop at the first you see, it is very rewarding. Hiking shoes are a must during the hike, hiking poles can also help if you usually use them. Recommend water shoes for the pools. The rocks in the water can be slippery. Obviously no source of food nor drinking water, bring your own. There is only one downside to this, even in September, very busy, hoards of people going to the same place. This causes 3 issues: parking - the parking is small, thus people park on the road, you’ll see cars park for a couple of kms when busy. Second issue is hiking there and back- the trail is narrow at all times, only space for one. When busy, it just becomes a long queue of people hiking, as if you had a class of 30 students. 3rd problem- all these people will rest, just as you, at the few pools which makes it very crowded. It is probably fantastic if you manage to be there alone, but no matter what, it’s beautiful. I saw plenty of young children hiking the trail without issues. I wouldn’t recommend it for dogs though, it won’t be pleasant for them.
