648 Corsica Info The Scandola reserve and the Calanques de Piana can only be reached on foot or by sea. Explore the area by boat, kayak or stand-up paddle to appreciate the beauty of the landscape and its unique geological formations. Climb to the top of the Omu di Cagna, which reaches a height of 1,200 metres and looks out over the coastline. From its peak, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Bay of Figari, the Strait of Bonifacio and Sardinia. It's a 4-5 hour walk from Monacia d'Aullène. Climb aboard the old train that runs along the coast between Calvi and Île Rousse at a leisurely pace. Enjoy the bucolic scenery out of your window as you listen to the driver’s stories about the region! Drive along the Patrimonio vineyard route, which criss-crosses Cap Corse between Bastia and Saint-Florent. Take in the scenery and make a stop to taste the local specialities, washed down with a glass of Patrimonio wine. Must do If you love nature, unspoilt spots and clear waters, plan a day in the nature reserve of the Lavezzi Islands, a wild archi- pelago where you'll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy swimming and walking in a paradise-like setting. Visit Sartène, which is situated around fifteen kilometres inland from Propriano and was once described by Prosper Mérimée as "the most Corsican of Corsican towns". It exudes authenticity and tradition and is characterised by its stone houses, narrow streets and local market. To soak up the atmosphere of Bastia, take a stroll around the old port and visit the museum of the city's history. It is housed in the former governors' palace, whose gardens offer an exceptional panorama of the city and Cap Corse. Like Calenzana, Sant'Antonino and Montemaggiore, many of the villages in Balagne boast splendid views of the region and showcase Corsica's historical heritage and traditional crafts.
