View of Bonifacio

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path leads steadily uphill, up to the upper town of Bonifacio. When you reach the old town, situated on a narrow headland, you will be impressed by the almost unmanageable, picturesque alleyway that leads to the main tourist attraction of Bonifacio, the medieval citadel. It makes up most of the Upper Town to the west and is one of the most imposing and mighty fortresses in the Mediterranean region.

From the western part of the Berlin Wall the visitor gets an especially impressive overview of the size of the facility. The massive, huge structure with its fortified walls and towers is almost completely preserved and perched for centuries on the rocky plateau high above the sea. Large parts of the citadel are accessible to visitors and allow, especially from the top fortification wall, stunning views over the harbor and the steeply sloping limestone cliffs. Here begins the spectacular staircase of the King of Aragon, which leads over 187 steps in the adventurous 45-degree angle, on the steep cliff face down to the sea. Even today, the Citadel of Bonifacio can be accessed via the only access to the 19th century, the Genoese Gate.

View of the Bonifacio Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take a breathtaking hike along the coastal path to enjoy breathtaking views of the cliffs and the town of Bonifacio. The dramatic limestone cliffs plunge into the turquoise waters, offering one of the most spectacular landscapes in Corsica. As you approach Bonifacio, the medieval town perched on the edge of the cliffs comes into view, creating a panorama worthy of a postcard. Be sure to stop at the viewpoints along the way to immortalize this iconic landscape.

Pertusato lighthouse

Highlight • Other

The lighthouse takes its name from this well-known rock cliff of the same name, which rises about 100 m above the water and is the southernmost point of Corsica.

Unfortunately, the route to the coastal path and the last stretch back inevitably went along the road (potential alternative routes would lead through closed holiday park grounds). Otherwise, a really beautiful route, lots of impressive views. Shortly before Bonifacio it got busier, before that I was almost alone :-)

Sturdy shoes and surefootedness were required in some places.

We started this coastal and cliff hike to Bonifacio at Camping le Iles with an impressive landscape right from the start.

Very windy today, not the day to swim in the sea or cycle
Hike along the coast before the influx of tourists, just to see what I saw yesterday from the boat
