Sports and leisure activities Piana

This path leads to the Capo Rosso peninsula. Take the path on the right, pass the ruined sheepfolds of "Paghiadie". Your steps will then lead you to a tiled sheepfold at the end of the peninsula. Pass then through a beautiful corridor between rocks and greenery. You reach the watchtower (40 minutes). It is recommended to leave early in the morning, to bring water (non-existent on this route) and a hat as there is no shade.

The first twenty minutes of this hike offer a more athletic portion, but don't worry: as soon as you approach the pine forest and stream, the pace becomes more moderate. At the crossroads, initially follow the red-green markings towards the rocky lookout. Then head towards Piana, along a wide path leading to an imposing dry-stone retaining wall, known as the sentier des Muletiers.

The departure is metres from the famous stone arch of Capo Rosso. At this place, a dozen rocky pitons with the pointed shape go back between 2 and 3 m from the surface, they are placed on a sandy background, from which some bouquets of oceanic emerge. Exploration consists of visiting the peaks one by one, while progressing towards the bottom. In the natural infractuosités that dig the walls, it is not uncommon to observe beautiful morays specimens. The Piton… is located on the north-east side of the city, where the...... is located in the heart of the city. The area is frequented by six or seven pretty familiar groupers who, by curiosity, come to meet the palanquée. One of them, particularly large, lives in a cave that opens in one of the lifts. Some beautiful underwater passages are available for divers. On the sand, at 35 m, you may have a great raie skate in the digestive nap. While you're going to make your level, along the peak that goes back 2 m from the surface, don't forget to admire the grace of the flabelline that's in silence.

The island of Vardiola is a block of ochre and red granite on the southern shore of the Gulf of Porto. The dive takes place from the island in the left hand to reach its end. We cross a valley of deep sand about 20 m. On the other side, the lift is very cut and behind it is the diving! 32 m descent in a clear sand garden locked between two beautifully decorated rocky walls. From 26 m, the rock falls from a delicate forest of red coral. Under the beam of a powerful lighthouse, there is a vermillon red explosion. Well fed by a small current, coral is bloom with millions of white stars. It's amazing! By continuing to the wall that faces, we discover a huge vertical flaw which goes back in a few meters from the surface. Looking upwards, we see two large blocks that are stuck in narrow gully. Often, a interminable banc comes to play the stars in scintillating scintillating in the chimney.

The location lies along the northern flank of the tip of Ficajola in the middle of the Cove Cove. Basically a funny mountain, raised 20 m, waits for the diver. By bypassing it in the west, it is surprising to discover a real saucer. Above, rocks have the form of an Indian head and, at the foot of the nose, a very beautiful mother is planted on its 18 m sand terrace. While continuing in the same direction, the narrow entrance of a tunnel leads to another massif where coral is very present. You have to go east to reach a slide zone, this part is not great, but at the end it is an explosion of red red coral, covered with white polyps pile like cotton. At the back, new change of decor, the entrance of a crack is discovered around 6 to 8 m. We feel like diving diving into fresh water! This slit, 15 m long, is very obscure. It's better to have a torch. By lifting your eyes, you can see the surface that you can die (attention at the levels) to turn off the lamp. Very beautiful vision of this blue hole flooded with light, contrasting with the burning of the hose.
