Tips
A beautiful road with bizarre rock formations in red rocks and beautiful views of the sea. It is best to drive in the off-season, as in July and August, many cars are on the road.

Very great route with a long climb to Porto. However, Komoot showed me gradients of 10-18% when planning the tour. My cycling computer (Wahoo) only showed a maximum of 7.4%

One of the marvels of the island of beauty (that is to say!), the creeks offer a landscape of rocks that sometimes seem to be sculptures overlooking the sea below.
The translation into "calanques" which is sometimes used is unfortunate because there is no analogy between the relief of Piana and that of the creeks of Provence; the use of the Corsican word "calanches" is therefore preferable.
It is impossible to access the sea from the calanches road.translated by•March 25, 2023
