View of the Calanques de Piana

Highlight • Viewpoint

A really nice tour. It actually looks short on maps, but it's steadily uphill. So it shouldn't be underestimated. Especially in summer.☀️☀️☀️ With fitness clock you can break all records for floors. Take enough 💦💧 and good shoes with you. You will be rewarded with great views of the pink rock massif and the dark blue water. Great high-contrast photo motifs.

Turghiu Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The Capo Rosso, made of pink granite and topped with a Genoese tower, rises 331m above sea level and is a truly wonderful place to visit. It is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the summer months, pack plenty of fluids and protect yourself from the sun - it gets hot!

Blick auf den Torra di Turghju

Highlight • Historical Site

The climb up the winding path to the Torra di Turghju is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Corsican coastline. This ancient Genoese tower, perched on a rocky promontory, offers a glimpse into the island’s rich history. From the summit, you can admire the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the picturesque villages of the Gulf of Porto and the majestic peaks of the Corsican mountains.

A beautiful hike to the Gourmet Tower at Capu Rossu. Easy hike with a short section through rocky terrain. Sturdy footwear (low-cut approach shoes or sturdy, stiffer sneakers) is required. Surefootedness is required.

First, there's a descent of about 200 meters on the way there, followed by a 240 meters ascent. It's still manageable. Be careful in very hot weather; bring plenty of water, even if there's a spring/Fortuna on the way. But the return trip is tough, as you have to climb down over a lot of rock and rough terrain, followed …
