On a boat

Not far from Calvi, behind Cape Revellata, this T-shaped cave is famous for the monk seals who lived there until 1970.

Around the cave, the transparent waters full of fish are of great interest to researchers who have set up an oceanographic research station there.
This is an opportunity to take a short but very pleasant ride (5.38nm)

Warning ! Very tight 90° turn to exit

Created in 1975, this nature reserve protects 900 hectares of land and 1000 hectares of sea.

Its volcanic origin, the work of the water and the wind offer breathtaking landscapes, between steep cliffs, red rocky deliriums and totally virgin coves.

The coastline is almost impossible to reach on foot. Judge for yourself: barely 3 km inland, the mountains already reach 1000 m in altitude.

The game is worth the effort: the bottoms are incredibly full of fish and, and a few cables from the shore, it is not uncommon to come across a pod of dolphins.

Girolata is located on the south side of the Scandola reserve. It is one of the most beautiful bays in Corsica. Its eucalyptus trees, its Genoese fort, its bay with turquoise waters, its stepped houses and its surrounding mountains, this hamlet is an exotic and relaxing place.

In the absence of any road, the easiest way to get there is by boat.
