very pretty here, very pretty

The Calanche de Piana with its rugged, surreal mountain landscape made of red rock is one of the most beautiful roads in Corsica and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accordingly, it is very busy. It is best to come here in the early morning or in the evening, when it is not so busy and the light is beautiful on the red rock.

Exhibitions also take place here.

The former fishing village of Porto is the main town on the gulf of the same name and the tourist center in the region. The natural harbor is protected by high cliffs at the mouth of the Porto River and in summer the white hulls of ocean-going yachts rock on the turquoise water. The fortifications in the harbor date back to the 15th century and were built by the Genoese. The Genoese watchtower Tour Génoise de Porto, which stands on a reddish rocky cape in the natural harbor of Porto, dates back to 1550. The old walls have been completely restored and equipped with a viewing platform. From here you have a fantastic view of the coastal town, the natural harbor and the pebble beach. The beach slopes down quickly and is only partially suitable for families with children.

The spectacular coastal landscape on the Gulf of Porto is sparsely populated. The reason for this is the topography of the bay, which is dominated by steeply rising cliffs. In 1983, UNESCO declared the Gulf of Porto, together with the La Scandola peninsula and the Calanches de Piana mountain region, a World Heritage Site, thereby sending a clear signal to ensure the preservation of the unique coastal landscape. To the north, the Gulf of Porto is bordered by the La Scandola nature reserve. Boat trips to this region take you into a bizarre world of red granite rocks, steeply rising cliffs and sharp ridges. In the oldest nature reserve in Corsica, bare rocky islands protrude from the water and mysterious grottos hide between high walls.
