Details
Welcome aboard for a boat trip from Ajaccio and Porticcio to Scandola, Girolata and Piana ! Departing from Ajaccio and then Porticcio, your adventure will begin with a 2-hour stopover in Girolata, a charming fishing village accessible only by sea or by foot. Take advantage of this free time to enjoy lunch in one of the village's picturesque restaurants or to enjoy a picnic on the beach, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
Afterwards, prepare to be amazed by the splendour of the majestic Calanques de Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Let yourself be seduced by the impressive rock formations sculpted by time, which will leave you speechless. Continue your trip on to the Scandola nature reserve before heading for Capo Rosso and its Genoese Tower of Turghju, a fascinating testimony to the history of our region. Throughout this tour, our dedicated team will be on hand to provide you with superior service. You will travel in a comfortable and safe boat, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind.
The return trip to Ajaccio or Porticcio will be just as enchanting as we cross the Gulf of Sagone. Let yourself be lulled by the peaceful waters and enjoy the panoramic views offered by this wonderful bay. Then our captain will drop you off at the same places as the departure.Highlights
