En route on Corsica (24) / Unterwegs auf Korsika (24) | Les Calanques de Piana

Hello Steemit,

welcome to the twenty-fourth part of our tour of the Island of Corsica.

Today we will drive through the Les Calanques de Piana, one of the most spectacular roads in Corsica. Stay tuned!

West of the road, the terrain descends steeply to the sea, and there are a few deep ravines.

To the east, it is steeply uphill. In the following picture you can see the road on the right side. The small white dots are mobile homes.

To the left and right of the road there are plenty of small parking places to stop and take photos. Even in the off-season, however, this is annoying, since one hardly gets along, since every tourist wants to keep at every point to shoot his photos.

As we headed north, I sat as driver of the rental car in the direction of west. And since I am a lazy person, I often shot the photos straight out of the car when we were in the traffic jam. Below a few more impressions.

A few minutes later the port and the beach of Ota Porto came into sight.

The bay is dominated by a genuese tower. The beach is not as sandy as other bays of Corsica, but it's quite ok.

A few kilometers further north-westerly one passes the beautiful beach Belle plage de galets. Here we also made a lunch break before continuing to Calvi. In Calvi our journey ends. More about this in the next and last part.
