Tour of Capo di Feno from Villanova
If you want to set off like an explorer in the footsteps of the ancient Corsican paths, rich in history and discoveries (numerous threshing floors), then this hike is for you. It will allow you to discover exceptional panoramas of the Golfes di Lava and Sagone on your right, as well as the high mountains of Corsica. After an hour's walk, the views open up onto the beaches of Capo di Feno and Saint-Antoine on your left. Optionally, you can access Punta di l'Avena on your right, but be warned that you may be disappointed if the scrub is not cleared. You will finally arrive at the most inaccessible and secret Genoese tower in the region: solitude and a sense of mystery guaranteed. This hike is a round trip on forgotten and unmaintained trails, in dense scrubland where you have to make your own way: follow the recommendations and the trail carefully, as well as the few blue markers on the ground.

On the outskirts of Ajaccio, an easy trail through the scrubland overlooking the gulf.

Punta Sant'Eliseu from the Col de Tartavello
Through the Corsican vegetation of tree heath, arbutus and pine trees, the discreet path leading to Punta Sant'Eliseu is sometimes peaceful, sometimes challenging.

Closer by, below, the villages highlight the gentleness of the Gravone valley.

This hike is a circular route on good quality paths, often along the coast but shaded if you set off in the morning. The return journey is in the shade of the forest or scrubland. Please note that the return journey begins with a very steep climb. As a bonus, there is a little-known passage that offers a unique bird's eye view of the beaches of Saint-Antoine and Capo di Feno.
