We like

Discover Girolata along the letter carrier's path. Accessible on foot or by boat, between sea and mountains, let yourself be carried to this fishing village.

Discover this emblematic trail linking land and sea to a fishing village, accessible on foot or by boat. Starting from the Col de la Croix (20km after Porto in the direction of Calvi), you first descend to a small Tuara beach, where you can make a short stop for a swim. After this beach, the trail makes a loop, allowing you to enjoy the sea spray on the way out and a view of the volcanic rock on the way back. Bring a cap or hat and plenty of water, as this trail is very sunny. It's a 3h30 trail with a 550m vertical drop. For markings, follow the yellow on the sea side, and the orange on the mountain side.
Make sure the weather is favorable, and don't forget to wear suitable footwear.
