Canari to Nonza, Cap Corse
Village to Village in the Cap Corse.
Campomoro – I Pozzi – Canussedu – Agulia, Campomoro
Great coastal walking with lots of possibilites, from a short stroll to a long day hike, coastal walking to please all !
Tour de Frassu, Porticcio
A short but sharp hike above the coastal resort of Porticcio, to a tower that was destroyed by Turkish pirates in the 16th Century.
Sentier des Douaniers, St Florent to Lodu
Another great coastal walk, take care in hot weather as there is little shade. The tower at Mortella was partially destroyed by a bombardement by the British fleet. So impressed by the structure, Nelson suggested the building of MORTELLLO towers on the south coast of England.
Sentier des Douaniers, Maccinaggio
Follow the Customs officers path or ‘chemin des douaniers’ around the remote Cap Corse, along which you pass naturally preserved beaches and abandoned watchtowers witness to the battles that were fought for this island. The walking is captivating through a wild and natural landscape, and you can catch a boat (MAY TO SEPT) at end of the day to MACCINAGGIO.
Tour d’Olmeto to Roccapina, Monacia d’Aullène / Sartene
An easy coastal stroll. After the short walk to the Olmeto tower, which is well trodden, the rest of this coastal walk is quiet and the beaches untouched.
Tour de Roccapina to Erbaju, Sartene
A lovely coastal walk through lush maquis to the tower at ROCCAPINA and the beach at ERBAJU.
Le Chemin du Facteur, Osani
A classic coastal walk into the remote seaside hamlet of GIROLATA. Very popular with walkers, it is in all the guidebooks and it is best to avoid this one in high season. It is a hot walk, but can be shortened by taking the boat out of GIROLATA instead.
Tour de Capanelle, Serra di Ferro
This is a great “Sunday afternoon” hike, the path runs along the coast past creeks of fine sand to the tower.
Capu di Muro, Coti Chiavari
A tower, a lighthouse, a chapel, a farmstead, a maquis covered, windswept headland, a superb picnic spot, just a short drive from Ajaccio “wild and free” walking at its best.
Tour d’Ominga, Cargese
This Genoese tower is called the tour d’OMIGNA, much lower than either of its neighbours, the path is coastal and easygoing and can be done in a couple of hours. The tower has been restored by the Conservatoire du Littoral and the path is well trodden.
