Calanques de Piana

Reviewed By honeggm - Maur, Switzerland

Great part of Corsica. Beautiful views. Small road by car, lots of turns and always stopping places to take pictures of the grand landscape! A must in Corsica!

Iles Lavezzi

Reviewed By 28travellb - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The boat trip was nice even if there was a lot of wind and waves. Once on the island we spent a lovely day. Bring you picnic as there is nothing on the island. We walked little. We sat on a small sandy beach but the wind was too strong. Did some snorkeling and found the elephant shaped rock. Then went to another beach on the opposite side that had less wind but no sand. Last boat was at 17h30. We couldn’t do the grottos because of the agitated sea but passing next to the them was already impressive.

Aiguilles de Bavella (Bavella Needles)

Reviewed By MAF-M_France - Paris, France

We did the trek during not so nice weather, so could mostly see the clouds around:). The trail starts in the forest to take you to the less protected side of the mountain - it was windy, so we needed to cover well. We could not do the full trail due to risk of rain (the train could get muddy so it would be harder to go down).

Plage de Palombaggia

Reviewed By thetravellingfrenchy - Prague, Czech Republic

As an incredibly famous spot in Corsica, Palombaggia’s reputation for being one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world is fully justified by its stunning beauty. The white sand contrasting with the gorgeous blue water makes you want to take a dip right away! Bordered with pine trees, this little slice of paradise is one of the busiest beaches in the South. So head there early or off-season!

Purcaraccia

Reviewed By Citizen_Stu - Eindhoven, The Netherlands

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.
