Things to Do  

Soccia.

Soccia., Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  Quite a drive in the mountains to find Soccia, given as one of the loveliest villages of Corsica. Not much room for parking here but that is why we are born with legs, to get us where the car can't go.... Not many people about but a nice walk up and down the narrow streets.... 

Hike the Spelunca trail.

Hike the Spelunca trail., Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  This trail was perhaps the best, and most comfortable hike we did. Starting from Ota out and back hike is around 9 kms. You follow the river Porto most of the way until the trail starts climbing up into the ravines where it becomes the Talulella stream, you can no longer see... 

Girolata.

Girolata., Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  Girolata can only be got to by one of the boat trips or a 7kms hike down from the main road. There is no trail, not even for mountain bikes. They have only had electricity here since 1986!!!! The place has now become very touristy since the tour boats now stop here, but it... 

Boat trip to Capo Rosso, Scandola and Girolata.

Boat trip to Capo Rosso, Scandola and Girolata., Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  Down on the port there are 3 companies that do boat trips out around Capo Rosso, Girolata and the Nature reserve of Scandola. They all have roughly the same price and all take about 3 3/4 hours. Cost is 40/42 euros per person. It's certainly not cheap, but for an almost 4... 

Hike the "Dogs Head" trail.

Hike the "Dogs Head" trail., Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  The trail out to the Castle rock, standing up above "les Calanche" is a popular one amongst tourists as there is plenty of parking space, plus the trail is given as easy!! Although not that long, about 1 km each way, in parts it is covered with rock and beware, the outward... 

Go see Piana and the "Les Calanche"

Go see Piana  and the "Les Calanche", Porto

 pfsmalo Says:  The superb site of "Les Calanche" near Piana can be seen from the sea or by stopping along the road in one of the many pull-outs. The pink coloured rocks, literally streaming down the mountainside into the sea takes the breath away.In case anyone is wondering, the Corsican...

Porto de Corsica

 The ride to Porto goes through the mountain area of Corsica at the western side of the island. Expect a hard ride, a bit dangerous with ravines and traffic coming from both sides. You''d better be a...
