Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Zonza
Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Zonza
Zonza is a commune in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the island of Corsica. Zonza is located in the mountain chain of Barocagio-Marghese which extends to the south of the Incudine massif. This mountainous area extends 20 km from west to east from the village of Zonza to the Tyrrhenian Sea and 12 km from north to south from the Bavella pass to Mount Rossu. The village is situated in the Rizzansee river valley on the mountainside opposite Quenza on the D268 road which connects Bavella to Levie.
To the east, the hamlet of Sainte-Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio is the centre of a coastal area which is irrigated by the Cavu river. No communication road exists between these two parts of the commune. To travel from Zonza Village to St. Lucia, a distance of 17 km as the crow flies, the Zonza massif must be circled to the south and Ospedale forest passed through. This route is about 50 km and takes over an hour.
On 29 November 1993, waters of the coastal Cavu river rose by ten times in the space of half an hour causing rocks, trees, telephone poles to slide down the hill and flooding all the houses on its banks. Taglio Rosso in Sainte-Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio became isolated from the rest of the area. This flood occurred at the same time as that of the Solenzara river which has its mouth at the town of the same name. Mudslides occurred in almost all of the Sartène arrondissement, from Propriano to Porto-Vecchio.
Sainte-Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio (Corsican: Santa-Lucia-di-Portivechju) is located on Route nationale 198 on the east coast, between Sari-Solenzara and Porto-Vecchio. The D168A, to the east, leads to the coast and to the village of Pinarello, 3 km away. To the west, the D168 follows the Cavo river and leads to Conca, a village 5 km away.
An annex to the town hall is on the D168a towards Pinarello. The village has shops including a supermarket, a doctor's surgery, a pharmacy, a petrol station and a bookshop. The village also offers a variety of holiday accommodation, including hotels, campsites and other locations.
3 km to the east, the village of Pinarello (Corsican: golfe de Pinarellu), a small fishing port and marina, boasts a magnificent white sand beach that runs along a 10ha pine forest. A road which subsequently becomes a path leads along the Cavo river to the west.

Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Centuri
Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Centuri
Centuri is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica. The village of Centuri is situated to the north-west of Cap Corse, and the Port de Centuri - the highlight of your visit - is a few kilometres along a winding road to the west. The port is the largest fishing port on Cap Corse
As with several of the highlights around Cap Corse (such as Barcaggio and Rogliano), you need to drive a few kilometres away from the main route around Cap Corse to reach the Port de Centuri. It is very worthwhile, however, so allow yourself enough time.
There is a large car park just before you reach the port, from where you can see the coastline and a small beach but little clue that one of the most attractive little fishing villages in Corsica is just round the corner. Not unlike Erbalunga in south-east Cap Corse, Centuri is a small and traditional fishing port. The port is surrounded by simple two storey buildings, many painted in pastel colours, which adds to its charm while numerous small fishing boats can be seen in the water.
We recommend you arrive at luchtime: wandering around the harbour doesn't take long but Centuri is a lovely place to sit in one of the restaurants overlooking the port while enjoying a slow Corsican lunch. Otherwise there is also a nice ice-cream shop in the harbour where you can easily pass 30 minutes. Just outside Centuri there is a small pebble beach - not perhaps the most exciting beach in Corsica, but very pleasant and with rocks to either side. Ideal for a siesta after enjoying your lunch in one of the restaurants in the port
Although most visitors never venture beyond the port, there are several historic monuments among the cluster of small villages that together make up Centuri. Thes include the neo-medieval style Château de Bellavista at Ortinola, built in the late 19th century, and the much older Tower-Castle at Merlacce. At Camera, back on the main Cap Corse coast road above Centuri, there is a group of buildings including the Church of Saint-Sylvester, an imposing belltower and a classical style chapel in a location with nice views out across the Mediterranean.
If you would like to see a more impressive beach you can continue to Barcaggio at the far north of the Cap Corse peninsula. The route, which also includes the small port at Tollare and some attractive scenery, is to the north of Ersa. Further east we also suggest you visit the group of hamlets that together make up the village of Rogliano.

Most beautiful place in Europe - Requiem for Corsica (GR20)
This is by far the most beautiful place in Europe. There is a hiking trial that crosses the entire country, called the GR20. The only picture not taken on the trial itself is at the sea, in Porto (middle west of Corsica), where we had to leave the trial to get more money. We passed the entire trial for north to south in 12 days, in September 2008.
All pictures are taken by a simple compact camera (Nikon Coolpix) on automatic settings. Imagine what you could do with a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera or a wide-angle camera.
