The landscape will take on a lunar and desert appearance, a fascinating and breath-taking sight, before you reach Balagne. Don’t miss the chance to take a break in Belgodère by the main square in front of the church before continuing on the route des artisans.

4 Sea trip
Today on your itinerary is a ‘must-do’ boat trip. Leaving Porto, head to the Scandola Reserve, Girolata (30 minutes stopover), the famous Calanques de Piana and the caves of Capo Rosso. The walk takes around 3h30 minutes and there are three departures per day:
09:00: this one is for the early birds. At this time of the morning the boat trip is the perfect way to start the day with mild temperatures, a slight breeze and the colours of the sea, the sky and the landscape are incredible.
14:00 By now the day will become warmer and it’s a great chance to enjoy a swim. Under a deep blue sky with full sun, there’s not much that beats an afternoon boat trip on the turquoise waters.
17.30 Though there’s a slight drop in temperature, the water is still perfect for a relaxing swim as you admire the colourful rocks, painted by the setting sun – it really is a stunning sight.
