With South Corsica Cruise we will reveal all secrets of Propriano, Bonifacio, Lavezzi Archipelago and Ajaccio
Created by violent volcanic eruptions, Corsica is the most mountainous region of the Mediterranean; and is nicknamed the scented island because of the intoxicating perfumes that fill its maquis, or bush lands. Sometimes called a mini-continent, Corsica has 620 km (385 miles) of coastline, more than 200 fine beaches, nature reserves and mountain retreats. A gentle Mediterranean climate has promoted rich forests of evergreen oak, and protects a wide variety of bird species.
The Scandola Nature Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Several endangered animals thrive in the southern alpine mountains of small, snow capped glaciers including the mouflon (a mountain sheep), and the Corsican red deer. In addition to its breathtaking natural beauty, Corsica is filled with history. Napoleon Bonaparte was born in the capital of Ajaccio, where his boyhood home is open to the public. Genoa ceded the island to France in 1768 and, except for a brief period of British occupation in 1814, it has remained French ever since.
Corsicans have their own language, which is more Italian than French, and they certainly have a lifestyle that is all their own. With one of Europe's finest hiking trails, 40 varieties of orchids, rare lichens and mosses, and wonderful cuisine, visitors to Corsica may be tempted to stay on land. But there is a vital water culture as well. Whale and dolphin sanctuaries surround the islands.
Explore the sea caves near Bonifacio or take in some sea fishing. River and lake fishing for local trout is also a local pastime. Swimming, diving and paragliding are just a few of the activities to draw you to the spot that the Greeks called “Kalliste” – the Beautiful Island.
Itinerary
Day1
Saturday : Ajaccio
Boarding in Ajaccio late afternoon. Departure around 06.00 pm (18h00), route to Sainte Barbe in Ajaccio Bay, dinner and night on board.
Set sail to the Gulfe of Valenco, where the beautiful sights have been mentioned in many traditional Cosican songs. Mooring in Porto Pollo for lunch after sailing around the reefs of Taravù. Enjoy swimming, kayaking and relaxing.
For our guests who like snorkelling: take the dinghy to the rocks of Taravu, a beautiful snorkelling spot.
After lunch, sail to the bay of Campo Moro. The town of Campo Moro was originally a simple fishermen’s village made of a few gray granite houses. It has kept its genuine and authentic charm. Ashore, you will find a few bars, restaurants and shops. Visit the bastion, located on the headland of Campo Moro. This historical site has been entirely restored and displays the unspoiled architecture of a fortified Genoese building. Mooring for the night.
Sail to Sénétose and its magnificent wild moorings, lunch in Arana cove. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, snorkelling and relaxing.
Departure to Bonifacio. The whole coast after Acula, is indented with tiny fjords. On Rocapina headland, a heap of rocks look like sleeping lion. Arrival late afternoon in the pearl of South Corsica - Bonifacio, as beautiful as it is spectacular! Entering the port of Bonifacio is very impressive because the harbour is dominated by a huge cliff, on which the fortified city is located. The inhabitants used to say that this vast fjord would be where Ulysses’ black vessel sheltered once during his Odyssey. Mooring for the night.
After breakfast, depart to the Lavezzi islands.
The extraordinary aspect of this heap of rocks gives the feeling that we’re back to the Stone Age. This marine and ground sanctuary mainly protects a rare specie of seagulls that nest within the vast rocks, as well as countless fish in the turquoise waters. The boulders, piling up high, create small inside rooms whose walls are polished by erosion. Lunch in this heavenly mooring, then swimming and nautical activities. Mooring in Piana island, a natural reserve where the waters are so clear that one can see the white sandy bottom, 3 or 4 meters deep.
