Natural Pool Foret d'Aitone
Chestnuts, beeches, pines, oaks, holly … The Aïtone forest is full of vegetation particularly suited to the freshness of the place.

Porto
Located between Ajaccio and Calvi, nestled in the hollow of the gulf that bears his name, the hamlet of Porto is the maritime facade of the municipality of Ota.With the prestigious sites of the Scandola Nature Reserve, the Gulf of Girolata and the Calanche de Piana, the entire Gulf of Porto was classified in 1983 as World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Creno Lake
Located at an altitude of 1310m, Lake Creno (Crenu) is the only wooded lake in Corsica. Surrounded by Corsican pines, this beautiful lake, which looks more like Scandinavian lakes than other glacial lakes in Corsica, will delight nature lovers with its water lilies and rare and protected carnivorous plants (Drosera).To get there, you must drive to the village of Soccia via the D23 from Vico (via Evisa from Porto or via the Col de Vergio, or by heading north from Ajaccio via the D81 then D70 from Sagone).
The Calanques of Piana
Classified as a world interest by UNESCO, the site of Calanques de Piana is one of the most beautiful places in Corsica with its walls of red granite jagged and sculpted by erosion which fall steeply into the sea 300 meters below .Some of his “sculptures” have become famous for their resemblance to animals, characters or symbols: calanque of the dog’s head, calanque of the eagle, calanque of the heart …
Legend has it that it was the Devil who created the calanques to punish a shepherdess who refused to accept him. Changed into a statue, she is forever trapped in this fantastic city populated by stone creatures.
