Galeria

Highlight • Settlement

Galéria is a small coastal village on the northwest coast of Corsica, located on the bay of the same name and serving as a starting point for boat trips to the La Scandola nature reserve.

The coastal village of Galéria, with around 400 inhabitants, is an insider tip for a relaxed Corsica holiday away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. The village is located on a small bay framed by a mountainous landscape and has a pebble beach. In the small marina, the white hulls of motorboats and sailing yachts rock on the turquoise water and in the town center you will find shops and restaurants. Even in the high season, the stone and pebble beaches in the bay of Galéria are not overcrowded. Divers and snorkelers can look forward to a colorful, shimmering underwater world with corals, groupers and seagrass meadows. The combination of mountains and sea is what makes this holiday region so attractive. The town offers holiday homes by the sea and hotel rooms for rent, providing a comfortable place to stay for the duration of your stay in Corsica.

A river hike through the Fango Valley (near Galéria) is pure adventure. In places the path leads along the rocks and then through deep pools. The pools, filled with clear, refreshing fresh water, are always perfect for a swim while hiking. There are a number of great places to swim along the Fango River. A day in the Fango Valley is an ideal change from the beach, especially for families. Equipped with plenty of drinks, baguettes, sausage, fruit, etc., the day can be spent pleasantly. The river is fairly easy to access from the road everywhere and is therefore also highly recommended for families with small children.

Ponte Vecchiu (Fango)

Highlight • Bridge

Superb stone building that straddles the Fango. It allows you to go from one bank to the other when you take the Mare è Monti path. He suggests a last swim if we head towards Galéria.

Immediately after arriving in Galeria (Corsica), my first route leads me to my favorite places. However, my main occupation here is diving and underwater photography. In your free time, relaxing by the river is the best.
