A visit to Palau is also a must: a visit to the Bear Rock. From about 130 meters above sea level, you have a magnificent view over the Bay of Palau all the way to Corsica. We actually wanted to walk around the old fortress again, but the area is apparently privatized, and some of the paths are currently impassable. …
