Les Calanques
The mass of intriguing red rock formations along the coastal
road between Porto and Piana are known as Les Calanques, and are a
highlight of a visit to Corsica. The narrow, twisting road reveals
a landscape of spectacular vistas and panoramas that outdo each
other at every turn, where wind and sea have eroded the pink
granite rock into pillars, huge boulders and weird shapes. The
scenery is most spectacular at sunset, when the setting sun
highlights the natural red and pink colours of the rock, and the
drive is best appreciated in the direction from Piana to Porto.
