A DETOUR THROUGH CAP CORSE
During your stay, take on the Cap Corse to discover the typical villages that line the coast of the Cap. This part of the island of beauty will fascinate you with its still wild and preserved aspect. Mass tourism has not yet invaded this part of the island in which you will taste the sweetness of life and the tranquility of an authentic Corsica. Plan at least one day to visit Cap Corse from coastal stages: you will certainly cross Centuri and its adorable little port. Located at the north-west end of the Cap, this stage will take you to other small characteristic hamlets of the region such as: Cannelle and its cobbled main street, the chapel of Saint Jacques and its wash house... You will see beyond Centuri the islet of Capense, now an ornithological reserve. At the extreme south of the Cap, go to Bastia, capital of Haute Corse and economic capital of the island. It will captivate you with its citadel and its panorama over the whole city. Also take a walk on the quays of the Saint Nicolas basin.
