Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Cargese
Cargèse is a village and commune in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the west coast of the island of Corsica, 27 km north of Ajaccio. In the 2012 census the commune had a population of 1,263.
The village was established at the end of the 18th century by the descendants of a group of immigrants from the Mani Peninsula of the Greek Peloponnese who had first settled in Corsica a hundred years earlier. The economy of the village is now based around tourism. Cargèse is noted for having two 19th-century churches that face one another across a small valley overlooking the harbour and the sea. One was built by the descendants of the Greek immigrants and the other by native Corsicans.
The village contains two 19th-century Catholic churches that face one another across a small valley overlooking the sea. The church on the east side was built by native Corsicans and descendants of the Greek colonists who had adopted the Latin Rite. The church on the west side, the Greek church, was built by the descendants of the Greek colonists who had retained the use of the Greek rite. From 1964 until 2005, Monseigneur Florent Marchiano conducted services in the two churches on alternate Sundays. On his retirement he was not replaced and instead each Sunday a priest from Vico comes to the village to conduct mass in the Latin church. A priest based in Athens, Archimandrite Armaos Athanasios, visits Cargèse several times a year to conduct services in the Greek church.
The commune of Cargèse is on the west coast of Corsica, 25 km 'as the crow flies' north of Ajaccio but 50 km by road. The countryside consists of small mountains whose highest peak is Capu di Bagliu (701 m). There are two plains that are each crossed by small rivers, the Esigna and the Chiuni. To the north east is a wooded area, the forest of Esigna. The ragged coastline has three granite headlands each dominated by a Genoese tower: the Punta d’Orchinu, the Punta d’Ormigna and the Punta di Cargèse (sometimes referred to as the Punta di u Puntiglione).
The coast has five beaches that are from north to south:
- Chiuni beach is 7 km by road from the village and site of the Club Méditerranée holiday resort. The beach is bounded on the northern end by mouth of the Chiesaccia and Chiuni rivers. A small tributary of the Chiuni river, the Truscielli, marks part of the boundary of the commune of Cargèse with that of Piana.
- Peru beach lies just to the north of the village. At the northern end of the beach is the mouth of the Esigna, a small river that flows during the winter months. The beach is patrolled by life-guards during the summer tourist season.
- Menasina beach is 3 km east of the village.
- Capizollu beach is between the Punta di Molendinu and the Pointe des Moines. This is believed to be where the Greek colonists came ashore in 1676 on their way to Paomia.
- Stagnoli beach is 6.8 km by road south of the village and the site of a UCPA water-sports centre. The small Bubia river flows into the sea at this point and marks the boundary of the commune of Cargèse with that of Vico.
Until the 1970s fishing boats would moor off a small protected beach to the south of the village. In the winter the boats would be hauled up onto the beach with a windlass. The whole area has now been developed into a marina.
The marina is accessible either by road or by a steep path that runs between the two churches and then alongside the cemetery. The harbour is protected by a jetty running 200 m in a north-easterly direction and can accommodate 235 boats with a maximum length of 16 m. There are 35 places allocated for visitors. The depth at the entrance is 5 m but this reduces to only 2.5 m within the harbour. Fuel, fresh water and mains power are available. There are three restaurants on the quayside but no shops. Provisions are available from a supermarket near the Place Saint-Jean 100 m above the port at the top of the town. In good weather vessels can anchor east of the harbour entrance in water with a minimum depth of 6 m. The three Genoese towers in the commune were built between 1605 and 1606:

This fabulous island is also an ideal destination for a yacht. Whether you wish to enjoy the sun-kissed stretches of white sand, explore dramatic inland waterfalls and rivers, or go scuba diving and snorkeling, our yacht charter itinerary in Corsica offers something for everyone.
Day 1: Ajaccio
Our Corsica sailing adventure starts from Ajaccio which is the largest city in Corsica and the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Feel free to explore the city’s landmarks including the 16th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral, Fesch Museum, and Maison Bonaparte before we embark on our journey. On the first day of our yacht charter trip, we will visit all the picturesque areas around Ajaccio and anchor at nearby coves and small inlets.
Day 2: Cargèse
Our first destination outside Ajaccio is the small village of Cargèse that offers plenty of water sports including scuba diving, jet-skiing, wind-surfing, and swimming. Admire the stunning rock formations and go sunbathing on a picturesque sandy beach. In the evening, you can watch the sunset and have dinner at the excellent Bel'mare Hotel. Before we leave, make sure to visit both Latin and the Greek Church in Cargèse.
Day 3: Golfe de Porto / Girolata
On day 3, we will be sailing down the gorgeous west coast of Corsica and along Golfe de Porto until we reach the protected port of Girolata. Being a part of the magnificent Scandola Nature reserve, this area offers excellent anchorage and boasts a variety of wildlife, as well as crystal-clear blue waters. The Genoese tower stands above the village and is definitely worth visiting. Despite its small size, this village has plenty of basic facilities for tourists, as well as a couple of cool restaurants.
Day 4: Calvi
After a nice breakfast on the yacht, it’s time to sail to Calvi, a charming coastal town with cute seafront lined houses and a majestic citadel. The town’s luxury yacht-filled harbor has all the necessary facilities to make your stay here relaxing. It is also just minutes away from the lovely beach of L’Ile Rousse where you can go swimming. In the afternoon, walk along the beautiful boardwalk or climb up to the citadel for an amazing view of Calvi.
Day 5: Golfe de La Revallata / Girolata
On day 5, we are departing early in the morning to the Gulf de La Revellata which is an ideal destination for water activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming. After a couple of hours relaxing on the beach, we will sail to Girolata to explore all the deserted creeks and small caves. Thanks to the volcanic origin of the island, expect to see plenty of breathtaking landscapes!
Day 6: Capo Rosso / Cala Di Palù
The sixth day of your Corsica yacht charter includes a visit to Capo Rosso and Cala di Palu. This area is perfect for diving, and there are dozens of local dive schools that rent all the necessary equipment. For dinner, we can go to the lovely Hotel des Roches Rouges that offers both local and international cuisine and boats magnificent views from their outdoor veranda.
Day 7: Bay of Sagone
No Corsica yacht charter vacation is complete without visiting the picturesque Bay of Sagone. Dotted with dozens of coves, the Bay of Sagone is home to a number of secluded sandy beaches where you can find some peace and quiet. Water activities such as windsurfing and scuba diving for all diver levels are extremely popular here.
Day 8: Ajaccio
We are ending our 8 day Corsica yacht charter at our departure point, the charming Ajaccio. Consider spending a day here to explore archaeological sites, cute hilltop towns, and an abundance of excellent restaurants and bars.

…..À PROPOS DE MOI…..
Journaliste de formation, j’ai travaillé en radio et télévision pendant plus de 10 ans avant d’avoir l’idée complètement folle de partir pour le Club Med pour y travailler. Je rêvais de voyager et de travailler à l’étranger depuis longtemps, et je n’ai pu résister à l’opportunité qui se trouvait devant moi. Au cours de mes trois années au Club Med, j’ai travaillé en République Dominicaine, aux îles Turques et Caïques, et au Méxique. J’ai débuté mon parcours en tant que Réceptionniste/Guest Relations, pour ensuite devenir responsable des réseaux sociaux, et finalement créatrice de contenu pour la zone nord-américaine.
J’ai quitté la vie de G.O en décembre 2018, et je travaille maintenant à mon compte en tant que créatrice de contenu et consultante en marketing digital, tout en continuant l’animation et la narration. Je continue de voyager et de faire le clown devant la caméra.
