Ajaccio, the Emperor Napoléon’s home town deserves a longer part of the day unless you decide to stay longer in order to have a trip to the îles Sanguinaires where you will be transferred in a vacation paradise.
From the Grande Sanguinaire lighthouse you will enjoy an outstanding view over the whole gulf of Ajaccio.
Travelling along the south coast of the gulf you will cast a last glance to the Tino Rossi’s town. You will definitely leave the town hustle and bustle to reach Porticcio sea-side resort.
Your coastal road will offer a great number of natural sites. After having driven along the Agosta beach you will distinguish the paradisiacal site of Isolella peninsula before entering into the deepness of the majestic eucalyptus forest of Chiavari.
Then you will drive towards the road of the Cortone and Chenova passes which winds its way through a dense scrub where the views follow one another.
You will drive back to the coast by following a small road which will lead you up to the archaeological site of Filitosa. the site will provide you with a history page of Corsica from the neolithic period to the Roman occupation before reaching the Propriano sea-side resort.
