Corsica from the sky

Treat yourself to a first flight and discover the beautiful region of Corsica in a different way.

From the main cities such as Bonifacio and Ajaccio, various tourist circuits exist and allow you to discover the island of beauty in a different way. A unique experience to enjoy with your family and friends to see the most beautiful landscapes of Corsica from the sky. The journey takes about twenty minutes.

A hike in the Agriates desert

The Agriates desert is not a desert like the others. In spite of some dunes, the landscape that takes shape before your eyes is not the image that one has of a desert. Between the sea and the mountains, these wild and green lands are a must-see on the island. Off the beaten track, explore these valleys dotted with plants and trees, but deserted. On foot, mountain bike or 4x4, you'll find many small tracks in these wild coasts. The easiest route is to follow the Coastal Path. Bordered by the sea, kayak or boat excursions also exist from Saint-Florent and are an original way to discover the Agriates desert.

The calanques of Piana

The calanques of Piana

Located between Ajaccio and Calvi, this is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Corsica! Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they are distinguished by their red magmatic rocks bordered by turquoise waters. This magnificent panorama is not accessible by car, two choices are offered to you: by land by hiking or by sea by boat. If you opt for the sea, there are various day cruises from Porto and Ajaccio. For the adventurous, there are several paths in the calanques, from the heights you can enjoy the best views! The creeks are home to two beaches, Ficajola beach and Arone beach. Relax on the sand while your children swim in the sea. The transparent waters of the calanques are perfect for diving and snorkelling! Another natural phenomenon not to be missed is the Dardu Canyon, an emblematic site for extreme sports.

The perched citadel of Corte

The historical and cultural capital, Corte is a stunning city. With its cobbled streets and typical houses, it is an authentic town that you should not miss. The most surprising place is undoubtedly its citadel built in the 15th century. Perched on a rocky outcrop, it overlooks the town and houses a castle and a museum. Another characteristic that makes it a unique place is its location, it is the only Corsican citadel located inland. From the heights, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains surrounding the town.

A hike with a donkey at the Lac de Nino

A hike with a donkey at the Lac de Nino

Discover the most beautiful lakes of the region by visiting the Scandola nature reserve. Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, it combines maritime and terrestrial territories. Lake Nino or Ninu is a large expanse of water on a green lawn, surrounded by numerous small water holes called "pozzine". This natural wonder can be reached after a walk through the paths. You can be accompanied by a donkey, a mythical Corsican animal, on which your children can ride. When you arrive in front of the lake, you will be able to see other animals that come to recharge their batteries at the lake, such as cows and horses.
