Corsica

On-board Santa Giulia, discover the most magical sites of Corsica and Sardinia.

Sardinia – The Maddalena Archipelago – Santa Teresa di Gallura – Porto-Cervo

Sardinia – The Maddalena Archipelago – Santa Teresa di Gallura – Porto-Cervo 

I walk in South Corsica, from Scandola to the Bouches de Bonifacio. Sometimes I venture into Sardinia, around the Maddalena islands, the island of Caprera or the Smeralda coast. There I anchor near the Sardinian village of Santa Teresa di Gallura where the archaeological site Lu Brandali or Capo Testa and its granite cliffs are located. I make a diversion, depending on my mood, to Porto-Cervo.

Corsica – The Lion of Roccapina – Ilôt des Moines

In South Corsica, the Lion of Roccapina is a small marvel watching over its Genoese Tower and dominating on one side the beach of Roccapina and on the other side the beach Erbaju and opposite, in the South-West of the Cape of Roccapina are the islets of the Monks (name coming from the abundance of monk seals at the beginning of the last century). This grouping of small islands is part of the Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve and is home to the 31-metre high Moines lighthouse with a black base and yellow top. I often pass by here.

La Parata

At the end of a long road of 15 km, the road of the Sanguinaires, is the peninsula of La Parata which shelters a Genoese tower, the Tower of La Parata was built in 1608 and offers an excellent shelter from the western winds.

The Sanguinaires Islands

The archipelago of the Sanguinaires Islands is made up of four islets of dark red porphyry. A classified maritime site, the Sanguinaires Islands abound with an exceptional fauna of marine birds, such as the crested cormorants, which have elected their base in a western cove of the archipelago. There is also a rich flora consisting of rare species.

Classified as a nature reserve since 1982, the Lavezzi archipelago covers 200 hectares and includes five islands: Porraggia Island, Ratino Island, Piana Island, the Sperduto Islands, Cavallo Island and Lavezzi Island.

Scandolla – Piana – Gulf of Porto – Girolata

Listed as a world cultural heritage site since 1983, the Gulf of Porto is made up of volcanic rocks that cover two thirds of the island. Occupying the southern part of the coastline of the Corsican Regional Nature Park, it is home to a rich marine fauna in transparent waters and maquis vegetation. The calanques of Piana and the natural port of Girolata are located here.

Anse Cancalu – Cala d’Orzzu – Baie de Cupabia – Campomoro – Anse de Conca – Senetosa.

I wander around according to the weather and the mood of Patrick, my captain, in all these exceptional anchorages, where calm, sharing and happiness are established.

Other unforgettable moments on board!

Patrick prepares the meals on board, in all simplicity with fresh regional products and accompanied by wines, raised in Corsica that he chooses. The menus are varied and balanced and change every meal, like the sites and landscapes, where I drop my anchor.
On board life is simple and friendly. A great spirit of sharing animates Patrick who manages everything for the well-being of his children, grandchildren and their friends.
