Things to Do  

Short visit to Aleria.

Short visit to Aleria., Corte

 pfsmalo Says:  We made a quick decision to go to Aleria when rain made us put off a hike we had planned for that day. Unfortunately we got there at 12h05 meaning that the museum was shut including the archaeological digs along with it. Phoecians and Etruscans both lived in the area plus... 

Hike the Restonica.

Hike the Restonica., Corte

 pfsmalo Says:  This is a great hike to do, but choose the early morning to do it if possible. A great drive up the valley for 15 kms from Corte, bit hairy at times and you'll find a steward on the road for your 5 euro parking fee. Another km up and you'll find the parking lot. The trail...

 pfsmalo Says:  We had a nice couple of hours walking round Corte, including the time spent at the café of place Gaffory, people watching. Plenty of ups and downs in the streets where you have to be careful if the cobbles are wet.
