Human invaders


The beautiful west coast of Corsica, around Porto, is a place where you can easily spend a whole month as there's so much to see and do. This photo was taken in Capo Rosso, which you can reach by dinghy.

Corsica, again...


Bonifacio looks like a good spot to moor our 60 feet yacht :)


From time to time, a wealthy dog may also feel blue. Bonifacio docks.

Corsica - from Porto Vecchio to Porto


Porto Vecchio, on the southeastern coast of Corsica, is an italian-looking village. Ah, if only we had the time to indulge in the dolce fare niente... Charming and classy, in spite of the typical hustle and bustle of August.



Sartène attracts many tourists with its little shops of local products (honey, liquors, cheese, etc), narrow streets and esplanades crammed in between. Two cats obliviously cleaning them selfs, just before nap time.


On our way back to Porto, in the west coast of Corsica, on one of the many twists and turns that make Corsican roads world famous. The mountain on the right is 1100m high and a couple of kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea.

Corsica

"La Corse", France... There is so much to be said about this wonderful island. Corsica has it all: the omnipresent beautiful Mediterranean, beaches, mountains, forests, picturesque villages like Sartène and cosmopolitan ones like Bonifacio.
This is a simple slideshow. Corsica... in 9 frames.
