The GR20 is a difficult trek that is known to walkers from all over the world. It crosses Corsica, from north to south, or the opposite, in 15 days of intensive walking. But seeing the sunset over the Aiguilles de Bavella, or the sheep on the mountain ridges, not to mention the unforgettable views of the sea - aren't these natural wonders worth the effort?

The Gulf of Porto is a charming litte port. The town may not boast many activities, but it's still a wonderful place to stroll around. Munching on an ice cream at the end of the day, whilst being watched by a gecko...an image that sums up the contentment I felt when in the Gulf of Porto. Its star attraction is a Genovese tower. Its perched on rock that overlooks the port. Sitting at 45m altitude, it watches over Porto. I recommend you visit the harbour at Porto during the evening, so you can see the tower lit up. It's a wonderful sight! You could also extend your time in the Gulf of Porto by visiting its UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Calanches de Piana, the Scandola Reserve as well as Girolata.
