A very useful alternative in hot (or very hot) weather, this walk largely follows the classic route from Lumio to Occi (a ruined village above Lumio). This short walk still allows you to enjoy magnificent views of the Bay of Calvi and the village of Lumio in a short space of time if you don't want to walk too far.

Departure from Lumio (Haute-Corse)
At an altitude of 377 m above Lumio lies the ruined village of Occi. In the 15th century, it was inhabited by people who had deserted the coast to flee the Saracens. The 17th and 18th centuries saw the decline of the village. Occi was attached to Lumio in 1852. Felice Giudicelli, known as Fra Felice, the last inhabitant, died there on 22 November 1918.
The 15th-century Baroque church of the Annunziata was rebuilt from its ruins (the work was partly financed by Laetitia Casta).

Sant'Antonino is located in the heart of Balagne, perched at an altitude of 500 metres on a granite peak near L'Île-Rousse and Calvi, between the sea and the mountains. The village overlooks the Aregno plain on one side and part of the Reginu plain on the other. A veritable eagle's nest, it consists of around 75 houses, built close together and winding around a granite peak, forming a labyrinth to better resist any invaders (Source: Wikipedia).
