Makes for a beautiful, and interesting drive. The roads are very narrow in places and many of the passing points get filled with other road users opportunistically using them as parking so they can get photos of the views, which means you need to be careful of people on the road as well. We ended up driving through in both directions at about 6pm. The roads weren't too busy and worth it for the views. We then parked at the tête de chien (small roadside parking on both sides of the road, space for 10-15 cars in total.) The walk from there is very pleasant and marked with yellow spray paint at key turning points. If you are confident and careful enough, there are some very impressive views to be had by taking a few steps off the track and pushing through the shrubs at certain places.

Totally worth visiting. Bring hiking shoes. The rock formations and sea views are mind blowing. The town is great for lunch as well. Can’t wait to get back. In Corsica this is worth a drive or a sail or a hike or bike in you will not regret it. Some of the locals called it the mini Grand Canyon. Super cool. There is one scenic resto / bar stop up in the rock formations. Looked cool for lunch but we didn’t stop. If you plan to make it up here bring some rations/ water/ sandwich and take a cool hike. Enjoy

Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di ammirare le Calanques de Piana sia via mare che via auto. Per quanto riguarda il percorso in mare, abbiamo optato per il noleggio di una barca (che qui in Francia però non può superare i 6cv senza patente) dalla marina di Porto. Purtroppo la giornata è stata molto ventosa con mare a tratti molto mosso ed il viaggio non facilissimo per dei principianti. Tuttavia ne è valsa la pena, posti meravigliosi, da vedere assolutamente durante una vacanza in Corsica. Per quanto riguarda il percorso in auto la strada che congiunge Porto con Piana è veramente suggestiva, sopratutto al tramonto, ma molto trafficata in alta stagione a causa delle numerose auto che la percorrono. Nonostante sia una strada molto stretta c'è ci sono parecchie piazzole di sosta in cui fermarsi per scattare qualche foto. In futuro mi piacerebbe visitare le Calanques de Piana anche a piedi percorrendo uno dei tanti percorsi trekking possibili. Concludendo, tappa imperdibile!

Alors commençons par le commencement, la rando est vraiment sympa par contre je la déconseille fortement au personnes débutantes. Oubliez petite baskets, sandales et autres. Le terrain est rempli de cailloux, escarpé et abrupte. (voir photos) Ne comptez pas 3h aller retour mais plutôt 4h avec un très bon rythme de marche. Arrivée à la petite bergerie le terrain se complique un peu, la monter est raide et difficile par la roche. Arrive la partie la plus délicate qui ressemble plus à de l'escalade qu'à une rando (voir vidéo). La vue depuis la tour est magnifique ça vaut le coup mais il faut avoir de très bonnes jambes ainsi que au minimum 1,5l d'eau par personne et un en-cas sucré surtout en cas de chaleur (j'avoue qu'il faisait un bon 30° ce qui a rendu la rando difficile. Vous serez prévenu armez vous de bonnes chaussures, d'eau et surtout de cuisses en béton. 😉

Beautiful! Has great hiking trails. Went to see the sunset, go to « tete du chien » and take the trail to « chateau fort ». Wear hiking shoes! A bit dangerous when you drive there, road very narrow and lots of people walking on the road (not paying any attention and just taking pictures).
