This is amazing. We took a "longer" walk to the old tower. We needed to stop every 10m because the view was spectacular! We walked from 3 to 5 o'clock.

The paths are partly through sandy beaches, partly over rocky rocks and often right through the fragrant macchia, the well-known form of vegetation in Corsica.

The route ran along the coast almost the whole time, so there were wonderful views of the sea, boats, ruins, cliffs and offshore islands. Highly recommended!
