Embark with us on an unforgettable boat trip to the Calanques of Piana and the Scandola nature reserve! We will leave from the picturesque villages of Sagone or Cargèse, head north and after passing the magnificent Omigna tower, we will reach the Scandola nature reserve! Once we arrive at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we will visit its faults and enter its impressive caves, where you can admire the beauty of the red rock, typical of the Corsican landscape. Afterwards, we will make a 30-minute stop in the picturesque fishermen's village of Girolata, where you will most certainly be welcomed by the wild cows that have inhabited the village for many years!
After crossing the Gulf of Porto, we will visit the magnificent Calanques of Piana. You will be able to observe magnificent cliffs of volcanic rocks, which are home to rich fauna and flora. Keep your eyes open and your cameras at hand: if we are lucky, we might see a golden eagle! Afterwards, we will head to Capo Rosso or to the cove of Palù, depending on the weather conditions, where you can take a 20-minute swim in crystal clear waters. Finally, we will return to the port of departure, where you can continue your journey with a visit to the village!
