Great area for hiking. If you walk to the beach parking is only 4€ plus entrance fee 1€/per. If you walk slow and take many pictures hiking around the lake up the mountain and down again in a big figure eight takes 4-6h. Paths are easy and you will find many interesting places. Be careful in the shrubs as i got stung by some sort of wasp after just two minutes on the trail. The beach we encountered was pure pebble, okay for us as we did not care for a swim.
In the hills you will find some form of gemstones on the ground, mixed crystals and animals :)
Leave them there though.. the gems.. and animals.
I don't know why but along all the paths we could not find many birds.. a handful maybe. The upper lake was also dried out. Maybe go there earlier than september?
Many lizards and even a snake.

A beautiful pine forest with a long windswept wild beach at the front divided into 5 sections of beach (these are not 5 separate beaches or bays/ coves as I expected) ...be aware that all beaches on this western side are very much of the wild choppy sea long windswept type not the calm ' Caribbean' bays of the north west. Still very beautiful tho!
La Cinta is a renowned family-friendly beach known for its shallow waters and white sand, making it an ideal spot for toddlers and young children. Visitors can find convenient amenities such as parking, restrooms, and showers near the entrance. Additionally, there are options to rent umbrellas and loungers, as well as a restaurant and cafe located along the shore. A small gelato truck is often stationed on the nearby road leading to this picturesque beach.

Brandinchi Beach is a beautiful, picturesque beach located in the north of Sardinia and popular with snorkelers. The clear waters make this beach perfect for swimming, while the panorama of the surrounding islands is breathtaking.
Quite crowded with very pricy parking, but the carribean sand and colours are worth the hassle.

Surely one of the most iconic beaches in Sardegna. Be sure to book your ticket the day ahead. Go for a stroll. Enjoy the blue waters.
Eric Berberich — Google review
One of the most famous beaches in the area. You need to book in advance , otherwise you cannot enter the beach. Once you book arrive early or you need to wait to enter the parking. It was very crowded but the water is cristal clear. I enjoyed the beach but I’d recommend to go or early or in lunch time
Victor — Google review
Stunning beach, if only for the incredible water. Sand is amazing chalk like, although beach is rather narrow. Sea is Transparent and tropical colour, best I’ve ever seen. On a negative…Whatever you do, do not use the portaloos.. most disgusting toilets ever seen. You’d hope paying €30 for brolly and loungers they’d at least give you access to a toilet that’s fit for humans.

Tourist trap. View is nice but not nicer than anywhere else in Sardinia. Beach is ong but very short, full of water plants. You pay 2 euro/h for parking and you pay 2 euro per person if you want to seat on the beach but not only walk. This is a newly introduced rule this year, and it's totally ridiculous

Amazing beach, probably one of the best in North East Sardinia.Also known as Little Tahiti, its sand is so white and its water so turquoise that you will feel like you are in the Caribbean. With its magnificent view of the Tavolara rock, Cala Brandinchi offers a breathtaking landscape. Seabed is also very shallow and crystal clear .
Things to know, parking costs €2 50 per hour so expect to pay €20 for day.
You need to book in advance for entry to beach do that on this website https://santeodorospiagge.it/cala-brandinchi/
Costs are 2€/visitor – 1€/visitor if you are staying in San Teodoro – Free for kids under 12
There are bars, free toilets + beach equipment rental (sun beds, sunshades, but you need to book those also.)
This is a must see beach but do book to avoid refusal.

Great location , but very overpriced. Between the fee to park and the entrance fee of the beach.
Also you need to book in advance otherwise you won’t be able to get in , you still be able to park and get to the secondary beach which is basically the same thing

This is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardegna. Keep in mind that the parking for this beach is actually Parcheggio Lu Impostu. We visited this place in October 2023 and maps and waze were trying to direct us through some roads that are private, but if you park at Lu Impost, you have direct access to the beach. And the parking is quite big.

Absolutely worth a visit. Really unique feeling on a beach with “Rice” stones.
Also fantastic underwater experience with lots of fish to see, is like diving in a aquarium.
And yes it is crowded there, even during the week, but what to complain about, it’s summer vacation in all over Europe, so stop crying.

I think that is the best beach of the area. Got there at 7:30am and was nobody there so we had all the beach for ourselves. The water was perfect and very clean and the sand is just fabulous. Also you can see some fishes. When we left at around 11:30am was already busy. Highly recommend.
Larisa Manciu — Google review
Don't buy the hype. If you are close you can check it just to see nice small pebble sand. If you are thinking about driving from another part of an island, then let it go. There is a lot of plant matter on the beach - nobody is cleaning that. There are other nicer beaches on Sardinia. Oh, and parking is €2/h. What a ripoff.

It's probably one of the top beaches in Sardinia. There is plenty of space, tons of parking, and beach access. The beaches keep going north and south. It has some of the best snorkeling in terms of fish and things to see.
Just know they are super serious about leaving that beach sand at the beach.

One of the best beaches I’ve ever visited. It is the beach of mini rounded stones, so called quarzo beach and this is amazing - tender but it doesn’t stick on your skin like sand. The see is great for swimming. Not too crowded in beginning of July. The parking nearby is quite expensive- 4 eur for 2 hours, however there are also other parking options.

Wonderful beach with non typical “sand” looking as grains of rice which is being composed of small grains of quartz, which shades range from pink, to green, to pure white.
Pros: stretches for several kilometers, clear sea, easy reach from Oristano by bus, there are bars, free toilets and showers.
Cons: somewhere it’s to rocky seabed

Established in 1996, Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena is a marine park comprising seven main islands and several smaller granite islets located off the northeastern coast of Sardinia. The archipelago's natural sculptures have been shaped by the prevailing maestrale wind over centuries.
An extraordinary series of islands located between the Sardegnean mainland and Corsica with stunning blue water and beautiful beaches. These gems are a little hard to find if you don't have access to a boat but well worth the trip if you can make it! A wonderful place.

Roccia dell'Elefante, also known as Elephant Rock, is a remarkable natural formation located along state road 134 in the Castelsardo area of Sardinia. This large rust-colored boulder, about four meters high, bears a striking resemblance to a seated elephant. Not only is it an intriguing sight to behold, but it also holds archaeological significance as it contains two ancient Fairy Houses used for burial rituals thousands of years ago.
Definitely recommend it to visit when you're in Sardinia! Couple on minutes drive from Castelsardo. It's free as being on the side of the road. Parking is easy and free we got there around 11am in June '19, some tourist but not crowded. Could comfortably take photos. The view also beautiful as always on this island 🌞😁
Kata Disney-Spiers — Google review
It look’s exactly like in the pictures. There were only 3-4 people at the time I went which was at 15:00 so i guess it’s not a very visited site.
It was interesting but kinda looked human made it has like tunnels which looked to perfect to be natural.
You won’t be spending more than 5 minutes there since it’s not really big. If you don’t want to lose 5 minutes you can pass by it by car and you will see everything since it’s right next to the road.

Capo Testa is a picturesque coastal area in the northernmost point of Sardinia. It offers visitors stunning views of the sea and rocky hiking trails, as well as coves with small sandy beaches to explore. The peninsula is known for its weather-carved granite boulders that resemble sculptures by Henry Moore and a sturdy lighthouse that overlooks the blue waters towards Corsica.
Lovely panoramic view and setting, beautifull spos and bars. Parking tricky (need to come very early) be careful parking attendants are red hot there.

Peter Jackson — Google review
Capo Testa is great for a walk to discover the rock formations sculpted by the wind. But it is also great for a swim. There are two sides, on one side a long strip of sand and the other a couple of hidden small creeks with some sand. We chose the later for its peaceful nature and crystal clear water.
Parking could be a big issue during the high season. While you come on the road and see some cars, park, don’t go further thinking you will find something. You won’t.
Jean-Philippe Cyr — Google review
This is the most beautiful and interesting coast in Sardegna. Crystal clear water, some fish, strange rock formations and several path around.
Be careful with the parking! If you manage to find a place, where the whole car is beyond the white line, you are lucky, you can park for free. If a part of your car crosses the white line, you will pay a nice fine,so better choice to find a blue line slot and pay at a machine...
one of the most beautiful sunset views on costa smeralda. climb the rocks for some spectacular visuals. bring a pizza and some wine and something soft to sit on so that you can spend as much time as you want there. met some locals who treated us to their home grown grape tomatoes.

When I arrived at Olbia and I checked in my first question was
What place should I visit If I have only 3 days here?
The answer was: If you have a car you should visit Capo Testa
Capo Testa is located at the north of Olbia.
It is the closest point to Corsica and you can see it’s coast
This place (Capo Testa) is not only beautiful for being nearest to Corsica but also for the phenomenal small beaches with
Yellow sand, rocks and blue and crystalline water
You can find several beautiful beaches between Capo Testa and Santa Taresa di Galluro where you can choose either small beaches, Bahia’s and beaches a little bigger
If you are thinking in visiting Cerdeña staying in Olbia, you must visit Capo Testa (it’s far away 60 kms from Olbia)

Absolutely dissapointing..arrived at the cave and captain said that weather is not good to park the boat. Did not even reach the entrance to see that. At that moment the waves was 0.6-0.8m. They already told while buying tickets that if weather is not good they will just swim around with the boat (like they knew that it will happen from the beginning).

Really disappointed. We took the boat and they didn't say anything bad about the weather. We arrived to the grotto and they decided to go back because of the waves (I found this OK, but is not like they can't know this before going, specially because it wasn't the first boat today and there was another one on the site dropping off some passengers). The trip per se is nothing amazing, it was fine though, we took the boat because there are not buses on Sunday 😢

Beautiful beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available €25 for day. €18 for half day.or just bring your own beach mat. Great snack bar/ restaurant. At times there is a waft of eggs smell from the piles of rotting seagrass. But beautiful white sands and clean crystal clear water. Much nicer than the lido beach which is disappointing.

Very good 👍 people, friendly, lovely and helpful staff 100%
Actually i have bean 3 years ago and nothing changed, maybe prices are a bit higher because of crisis and Covid-19 but the mos important thing is that situation is really good 😌 I come special from Sweden 🇸🇪 to enjoy vocation in Alghero city, but from Alghero with bus 🚌 is not so far 1€ ticket 🎫 from Alghero to Spiaggia di Maria Pia around 10 till 15 minutes depend of traffic.
I can recommend this place to everyone who really want to visit Alghero city, because Spiaggia di Maria Pia is one ☝️ of the best without questions!

I like this beach much more than Lido beach. Lido beach can smell bad if the water is not warm enough (due to the algae). The water at this beach is crystal clear. While swimming we saw some tiny fish 😄. Naturally you can find some pinecones and branches on the beach from the trees but it didn’t bother me.

Maria Pia is a lovely beach with white sand, dunes, and turquoise waters near Alghero. We visited the beach when in Alghero for a weekend. As it is close, we waddled there. From the city center, it took us about 40 minutes at a chill pace. My favorite part is the entrance, where you have to go through a pine forest. It's magical. And then the white sand and giant dunes. It is among the best beaches in Sardinia and I agree.
If you don't want to walk there you can take a taxi or the local bus. The beach has all necessities, a bathroom, and bars to refresh.
The beach is also easily accessible with wheelchairs, it has a wooden pathway.

Such a beautiful beach. We didn't expect that a public beach (free entrance any time of the day/night) could be so clean. If you are there I simply recommend visiting it!
Palombaggia is a picturesque beach located near Porto-Vecchio, boasting stunning views of its white sandy shore and turquoise waters. This scenic coastal area is surrounded by evergreen trees, creating a serene and natural ambiance. Nearby, visitors can explore the charming town of Porto-Vecchio with its historic citadel and quaint streets. Palombaggia itself offers a lagoon-like bay with clear and crystal waters, perfect for swimming or simply admiring the beauty of nature.
Wonderful sand beach with convenient parking. Came at around 11 in the morning and it was not a problem to park car in the shade of pine trees. And parking is free! Beach itself goes alongside, walk further and it will not be crowded at all. Crystal clear and shallow water, stones to make insta pics, bars everything is there! The best beach for us visited in Corsica! Recommended!!!

Nice blue shallow water. Great for little kids. Lots of pine needles and other natural debris on the beach. On Sundays extremely crowded. Some jellyfish in the water.

This is, to me, the best beach in Corsica. The dand is white and thin, the water very clean and light blue. You can park very close to the beach if you get there early (before 10am) otherwise there are parking on the street and with a 10-15min walk (very easy) you get there anyway.
Around 11 till 5pm is a bit crowded but still there's plenty of space.

Very nice beach with very clear water. Good for snorkelling. Not that many different type of fish but enough to have fun.
Beach consists of white sand. Be aware of the sharp needles that fall from the trees.
Enough parking space along the road but also in the parking spots closer to the beach only a few meters walking and you are on the beach

Beautiful long beach. Parking is a challenge but possible if you arrive early. Keep your flipflops/sandles on when up near the trees, sharp spines that fall from the pines into your feet are no good.

Although the weather was very windy and not suitable for swimming, you can see that it is a great beach, with white sands and clear water. The space is not much, so maybe there are problems during high seasson.

The popular Plage de Santa Giulia in Porto-Vecchio, a bay on the south coast of Corsica, is surrounded by clear, shallow water and beachside restaurants. The pier offers fishing opportunities.
One of the best beaches in Corsica! There are good bars and restaurants, water is crystal clear. One can walk around and explore nice and more quiet places around.
F. Zefi — Google review
We expected more since we visited palombaggia. Santa Giulia is long but narrow beach so we hardly found our spot. We were located in front of some mobile homes and it was really bad smell I guess from the toilettes. The water was clear and shallow, so is perfect for small kids. But a lot of grass in the water and on the beach. Parking lot is 5min away walking and it costs us 5€ per whole day.
Sanja Rozman — Google review
Very beautiful beach in the southeast of Corsica. Partly white sand and turquoise water. The beach is very long and unfortunately also very busy. Nevertheless beautiful. If you are looking for a quieter place to sunbathe, you should walk down the beach to the end, even further than the last hotel-restaurant. In front of the the Hotel there is also a small free parking lot, next to a small lake, but there you have to be a bit lucky, because the other parking lots cost 15 € per day. If you want to go out for a meal, you should know that the beach is mainly home to high-priced eateries. Exception is a kind of fast food restaurant, but that is unfortunately at the other end of the beach.

An amazing beach with clear water for the kids to play all day. There are two bars where you can easily get all the necessary food and drinks, so if you are a person who can stay in one place for the whole day, this beach offers everything. For the first 50 meters the water is very shallow, again amazing for little kids. They can walk in and out (under your watchful eye of course) all day. The water was also not cold. I recommend at least a couple of hours to visit, but it could get crowded.

A beautiful beach to visit. A free parking lot located at the beach. A couple of restaurants situatuated along the beach for an ice cream, a beverage or something to eat. Lots of shade and lovely white sandy beach.
Charlene Elliott — Google review
Water is shallow and clear, sand is white. Bay is beautiful and the ship can’t come close. So why just 3 out of 5?
The grade is lowered by the August crowd, but hey, this is the time i am here. It is super busy.
There’s also quite a bit of seaweeds that reduce the amount of available beach. They also smell quite a lot. If you’re going in the paid part of it, just disregard this, they keep it pretty clean and they look gorgeous.
Another minus is the parking, the closest to the beach costs 20€!!! TWENTY!!!
There are cheaper options with nice pals (search for the 5€ one on google map, there’s a 5’ walk on a nice path).
Overall, there are FAR better options. Balistra, petit Sperone, Stagnolu and even Rondinara.

michel mougey — Google review
The beach definitely has a potential. However, it is a victim of its own popularity. In the high season it is very busy. Additionally, the beach is not cleaned of decaying sea weeds making it a very unpleasantness place to lay your towel on. The prices in the surrounding bars and restaurants resemble those found in Switzerland rather than in France. Perhaps the biggest nuisance is the noise pollution. The beach is used to rent all kind of watercraft that emit constant noise and exhaust fumes, polluting this otherwise beautiful place even more. You will do better going somewhere else, unless you enjoy crowds, high prices, dead seewed and noise.

This is what a beach should look like. Beautiful sea, mountains in the background, warm sun. Usually not too crowded, plenty of room to swim, take a walk by the shore, or play with your kids. Definitely will return here!
Tamás Kondor — Google review
Ridiculously packed and honestly expected a lot more. I think the beach is victim to its popularity as the beach was quite dirty with cigarette butts and random trash , and this was early in the morning. Also on the left hand side it’s just a port with all the boats so doesn’t feel great to be swimming so close to that. Views are very nice and water quite warm.
Getting in and out is a complete nightmare as the roads are extremely narrow and two cards barely fits. Arrive as early as possible and leave between 2-330pm
Nick Verschelde — Google review
One of the most beautiful beaches close to Porto-Vecchio. It's definitely a must-see when you're in the area.
After 11 am can get quite crowded, but that's something normal.
Unfortunately, some people act like they are at their house throwing away rubbish like bottle caps. You have to be careful while walking on the sand.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Sardinia and in the world. You will be able to find various things to visit, the prison, the ossuary, the old work buildings, but above all... The greenery and the sea. It's great to tour the island by bike, be careful in the summer because it's 40 degrees. The only thing, remember that this island is a protected park, so forget about services, taxis, public transport, banks or similar.

Uno dei posti più belli della Sardegna e del mondo. Potrete trovare varie cose da visitare, il carcere, l'ossario, le vecchie costruzioni di lavoro, ma soprattutto... Il verde e il mare.

Unica cosa, ricordate che quest'isola è un parco protetto, per cui dimenticatevi servizi, taxi, mezzi pubblici, banche o similari.

At 11am, we’ve ordered 2 cappuccinos at an almost empty restaurant. We were served two cups of warm milk with barely dissolved instant coffee or similar substance floating on top although they have an espresso machine. Upon politely asking whether our order was misunderstood, we were informed in no uncertain terms that “chez nous le cappuccino est comme ça”. Best avoided.

This was such a nice place - our first question was “do you accept credit card” as some very nearby places don’t or pretend they don’t accept CC but here the waiter/ owner was very clear: yes we do - the food itself was very tasty, the service was very friendly (almost ‘not-French’ if you get my point), and the location/ view is excellent - thank you “Aiguilles” team!

This place is excellent in a lot of regards.
They offer top quality meals, when "it was too late" for the other two restaurants nearby, the staff are excellent, very nice, the meals were all of a quite large portion and very tasty.

Spiaggia La Pelosa, located in the Stintino region of Sardinia, is a tranquil ocean getaway with white-sand beaches and calm blue waters ideal for swimming and diving. The beach is famous for its Aragonese watchtower overlooking the sea and exposure to the mistral wind making it perfect for water sports. However, due to concerns about damage caused by overcrowding, access to the beach is now limited to just a few hundred people per day.
Beautiful beach. And windy, very windy. But really, really beautiful.
irena — Google review
We visited La Pelosa Beach at the beginning of October on a sunny day. When we arrived at around 11am there were a few parking spaces left next to the La Pelosseta entrance.
Beware of the touts, they will approach you right after you get out of your car and will start selling you the mats, even before you will pick your thinkgs from the car or unbuckle your children, so that is a bit annoying. I thought there would be some official place where you can buy the mats, but I haven’t found one, so ended up buying from the tout. One guy offered me two big mats for 15€ and then was ready to sell for 10€, but then he was gone, so I ended up buying two for 15€ (7,5€ each).
The beach itself is really beautiful, it was quite crowded compared to other beaches we visited in Sardinia, but not too bad.
For those who want to visit in summer but do not manage to get a booking, I would still recommend to visit La Pelosa and Pelosseta just like a sighseeing stop, you can really enjoy the views of the water from above, there is a nice rooftop viewing point, where you can see both beaches. After the stop you can hit some other less crowded beach.

Very nice beach, clear water, nice view, but it's way too overrated, you have to wake up at 6:00 in the morning to do a reservation for the third day, to enter the beach and it cost 3,5€/person, once you arrive there you have to pay 2€/hour the parking, and if you want to rent sunbeds and umbrella it cost you 35 euros for the third row, and the bathrooms didn't had water so we couldn't use them...

Christian Schwarz — Google review
The most beautiful beach I have seen so far.
Water is cristal clear, fine white sand and marvelous views.
You will think you are at the Caribbean.
BUT all good things have a price and the beach is very crowded as well.
ATTENTION!
1. It is necessary to buy tickets online in the web lapelosastintino and the price is 3,5€ per person.
2. It is compulsory to have a beach mat with your tower. If you don’t have there’s people selling them there.
3. If you go by car, which is the usual, there’s parking meter which costs 1,65€ per hour and there’s a big queue in the machines.
To avoid waiting, you can download the app flowbird which gives you one hour for free.
In the case of getting the ticket through the app you find a paper on your car, dont be alarmed, it is just a warning and they later check if everything is good in the app. They even write in the paper “verif app” (it doesn’t have a lot of sense)
4. Expect loads of people

Beautiful beach, blue like no other.
Book in advance online first, access from 8 to 18h. Staff will give you a bracelet so you can come and go as you please. Cost € 3.5 per person (July) pets are not allowed, you can not smoke on the beach, you have spots available for that, a mat under the towel is mandatory if you want to lay in the sand. You have access to showers and WC. You can rent Parasol (2chairs+1umbrella €35) or you can bring your own if you want.
Parking is 2.5€ per hour in most area. You can download the app (EasyPark) and pay per minutes too.
Amazing experience, love everything about it.
Great for children, families, couples.
You have to spend the day there.

The Maldives of Europe. The waters are so clear it’s an amazing experience to swim there. The reservation is needed for this beach (3,5€) but you can access the waters from other spots without reservation! It’s quite crowded so in my opinion it’s even better to go from the other spots.
You will need luck to find a parking spot if you come around 11:30 like us. Parking cost around 14€ for 7 hours.

La Pelosa Beach is a coastal gem that leaves visitors mesmerized with its crystal-clear blue waters and abundant marine life. During my visit, I was captivated by the sight of fish gracefully gliding through the water, creating an unforgettable underwater spectacle right before my eyes.
The shallow waters that extend up to 500 meters from the shore offer a unique opportunity to explore the sea on foot, making it an excellent destination for families and non-swimmers alike. The safe and calm waters ensure a relaxing experience, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the natural beauty.
I rate La Pelosa Beach with 4 stars due to its remarkable water clarity, enchanting marine life, and the convenience of walking into the sea for an extended distance. However, it's worth noting that during peak times, the beach can get quite crowded, affecting the overall tranquility of the surroundings.
Despite this minor setback, La Pelosa Beach remains a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a close encounter with the wonders of nature. The picturesque setting and the chance to witness marine life up close make it an unforgettable coastal retreat.

A must visit beach at the north east side of Sardinia! Especially during summer months and peak times expect to face a crowded beach and need to be a bit patient with finding a parking slot!

The Maison Bonaparte is a national museum that was once the ancestral home of the Bonaparte family from 1682 to 1923. The building, where Napoleon himself was born in 1769, has been restored and now serves as one of four national historic museums dedicated to him. Visitors can explore the multilevel house and learn about its history, as well as gain insight into Napoleon's life and legacy through various exhibits.
The museum is well done. Panels are all in French but we were also given an overview brochure in English. There might be an audio guide but I didn’t notice anyone using one.

We like corsica ferries more than m...y ships. But it depends. They have good ships and not so good ships. We had a lot of cabins. Some cabins are quiet and some are very noisy.
Reviewer cheffe — Google review
My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected.
My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

They get you from A to B, with a big boat that you can put your car on. Expect no more and I wish you the best.
We had a 1-hour departure delay that turned into 2 (we were notified the morning of departure, that was ok), then ended up being 5 as we waited on the parking lot. And that was just the delay of departure. Upon arrival, there was another hour+ of delay for whatever reason. When the doors finally opened to get to the cars, the required vouchers for reimbursement magically went missing until there were just a handful of people left waiting. Great enthusiastic announcement over the PA system (also the first one on all this)! As we by then had a sleeping toddler and were in no rush (we stopped caring), we were among the last so we actually have the voucher. Don't expect any response when you try to get reimbursed, though. Their info on the website is total B#, there's no followup whatsoever (which is against the law, but hey..), they just don't respond and believe me, we've tried, in many different ways. A bad product is one thing, but a bad customer service is another.
No second chance from us, nor any of our friends. the worst travel experience of my life, by a lot.

When we boarded, we had to wait a long time until we got on the ship at the last minute. The staff seemed completely haphazard. The whole deck smelt of diesel and there were many damaged chairs. Everything vibrated and made a lot of noise, the stay was terrible and the ship looked very run down. The dog toilet was a disgrace. When we left the ship we were only allowed to our vehicles very late for some unknown reason, the gates were already open and when we entered the lower deck cars were already driving towards us. There was no question of safety. Then our vehicle was unfriendly escorted out by incompetent staff without really keeping an eye on the vehicles already travelling. The only positive aspect we can mention is that we were able to cross the sea at all.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that the staff attach advertising stickers to the vehicles without being asked, which are sometimes difficult to remove without leaving adhesive residue.

2 types of boats. It gets the job done but 1 boat is pretty old and dirty, other one is bit more modern and cleaner. Ship is run by Italian people, and they run it like it's their own monarchy, with the passenger as lowest "rank". The boat had some delay and we had to get out of the cabins so they can start "cleaning" it. But the garage-deck wasn't open yet, so the hallway got more and more stacked and hotter and hotter and the crew was kinda shouting with the typical "italian" handsignals, not the best experience.
Did the 90 minutes tour of the Calanches and was very satisfied! The booking process was easy by phone and was able to pay via credit card. The cruise was pleasant and I learned a lot. Antoine was a very convivial guide and captain. I would recommend Alpana sea excursions.

Arnaud was a great skipper, the swim in the calanques de piana are just superb! Better to go at sunset to skip the crowd. Love the whole gulf views. Long tour though, can be done in 2 and a half hours instead of 3 and a half.

Excellent Grand Tour du Golfe trip, a must-do around the area. Comfortable modern boat and great staff. What distinguishes Alpana Sea Excursions from many operators was the personalised transparent service provided from start-to-end. We were informed prior to booking that it was mainly French-speaking tour and to our surprise, our captain made every effort to translate the main points to us - the only passengers on the trip that were English speakers. It made the trip extra enjoyable on top of the amazing views of Calaques de Piana and Scandola Reserve. Highly recommended.

There are several companies running the same kind of tour. I highly recommend going for those mid size boats (12 people max) as it allows to go deeper among the rocks while benefiting from the captain comments (something you don’t get renting on your own - also, you would be highly time constrained while these fast boat can easily navigate from one point to another). Alpana was a good choice indeed.
JB Theard — Google review
I opted for a short circuit visiting the calanques and it was a great experience: the place is gorgeous!
Cécile was very nice and helpful with reservations and instructions on where to park the car. The boat is super cosy and powerful, but due to small size Thibault, the capitan, glides it inside the caves. On top of this, they accept only 12 people on the boat equipped with 18 seats, which makes it more comfortable and one can change place on the way back to a more protected one.
Many thanks to Cécile et Thibault for this magical experience!

The excursion is provided in a special purpose boat that is very comfortable and well suited for this purpose. The views are spectacular including going inside the huge caves and observing the natural erosions and configurations of the lava and rock formations. Our captain today, Nicholas, was extremely informative and interesting. He spoke good English and although all others on board were French, he patiently informed everyone in a language they understood. A refreshing swim topped off the trip for me and my wife.

Offering tours that respect the environment, with friendly, knowledgeable staff and probably one of the best boats to visit Scandola. It is safe, clean, has toilet (helpful for a trip of 3h 😊)

Great experience. We would have appreciated a few more minutes to swim, especially as we arrived to port after 2:15 and therefore there was a bit time left. A second spot to swim would be great. All in all a recommendable experience. Thanks for the ride over the waves at the end :)

The Citadella di Calvi, a historical landmark in Corsica, offers visitors a chance to experience authentic old streets and buildings. The citadel's location provides stunning views of the surrounding ancient city, bay, and mountains in the background. Additionally, it is conveniently situated within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants. It is worth taking a stroll up to the citadel at least once during your stay to enjoy some cozy eateries with an exceptional view of Calvi Bay.
Impressive place, nice surrounding ancient city, the bay with Mountains in the Background. I will definitely return to this place on the Island Corsica.

Spectacular views of the town below and lots of little, interesting streets to lose yourself in. There are various signs with information and an audio tour I believe people can do (although we didn't). A lovely little church can be found near the top and a delicious ice cream parlour.

The top of the citadel was a great place to climb on during a cloudy day. I would say that the citadel would be cooler maybe with a couple more restaurants and bar, as there is not that much to do once you climb on top apart from an ice cream place and a couple of shops. Nonetheless, Calvi is great and the citadel as well.

Definitely worth the climb up the steps to wander around the narrow cobbled streets of the Citadel & enjoy the panoramic views of the city.
A few little hidden away bars, restaurants and shops and some breezy areas to cool you in the summer sun.

The Hanbury Botanical Garden, situated in Mortola Inferiore near the French border, is a stunning 19th-century landscaped and terraced garden featuring an extensive collection of exotic and local plants from different climate zones. The garden owes its diverse plant collection to the Hanbury family who have collected them over time. It's an excellent place for a summer morning stroll, where visitors can buy refreshments and souvenirs from the bookshop on site.
One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited in my life

Fantastic place with a wide collection of exotic and local plants, which has been collected by Hanbury family as first. The ideal place to make the nice stroll through it during the summer morning. If you forgot the bottle of water, in the bookshop is possible to buy drinks to refresh yourself and some nice souvenirs. Highly recommended to visit. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed and the parking area is not big enough, so it's better to come early morning to get the spot.

It’s an amazing place, hidden in plain sight. Parking can be pretty challenging, but once you’re inside you can gaze at all the different terraces with plants, trees and bushes.
We went July 1st, but it looks like the drought has hit the gardens hard.
At sea level you can enjoy a snack, a drink and/or an ice cream before making your way back up the gardens.

We visited on the 7th of March 2018, the weather was cool but sunny, being so early in the year we had no great expectations. However we were stunned by the beauty of the place, there was very little in flower, though the variety and types of plants and trees was enough to keep us amazed throughout our visit. Every corner turned produced a new vista, which kept the camera clicking. The park is on the side of a steep hill, which drops down to the sea, but following the prescribed route was never difficult. Alternative routes or guides were available for disabled and the blind. The staff were very friendly, helpful and patient with my bad Italian. The cafe at the very bottom of the hill by the sea sold coffee, ice-cream, filled baguettes and cold drinks. A limited selection though adequate selection.
Castle Hill is an iconic Nices park with stunning city and sea views. There's a man-made waterfall and cafe on site, making it a great destination for a leisurely afternoon or evening out.
Lovely park in middle of Nice. Wonderful views of the whole city, the mountains and the ocean with a waterfall feature right below that you can walk up to.
There were archaeological finds and history buffs would appreciate reading the placards. We didn’t explore much around the park though.
Paths are wheelchair accessible, steep in some moments but completely manageable. There’s even a little cafe at the peak of the castle overlooking the city.

Beautiful place with a fascinating view of old Nice . Beautiful nature, an impressive fountain.
In an open air cafe on a hot day, you can sit and enjoy a glass of cool beer or ice cream and then again continue sightseeing
of the historical sites or just stroll through the park. It is possible to walk down the stairs to
the promenade through the picturesque greenery.

Beautiful beautiful must visit place in nice. Either go early morning or later in the afternoon to enjoy the best views of the city.

Everything is free for the public no tickets required

Would recommend visiting when you are in Nice. Beautiful views from the top of the hill. You can also see a waterfall. Very peaceful park. There is also a toilet at the top which costs €0.50. Rewarding if you bring a picnic and eat it at the top.
Unfortunately the elevator was out of service when we visited but the walk up only took about 30-40 minutes at a slow pace.

Amazing view from this hill lead to the water fall. You can see the whole promenade from here and even nice airport you can watch the planes land and take off. The view looks amazing great at sunset and highly recommend. There is a lift you can take so you don't have to take the steps.

Unbelievable view on the Old City, the Old Port, the whole of Nice. Excellent playground. Free admission. You can climb the stairs from the side of the Old City, that is quite difficult. Or you may climb from Old Port if you prefer a more gentle path. An artificial waterfall, beautiful views, ancient, excavations, lifelong impressions....
Oleksandr Protsenko — Google review
Also known as Castle Hill, you have the option to walk up stairs, take a free elevator or apparently take a road train (for €12 I think, but I did not see or use this).
There were amazing views, and a waterfall, as well as some architectural ruins to see. On the day I visited, there were some people dressed up for photos, some zumba near the cafe and some others doing yoga. It was a really hot day so I bought some water at the top (€2 a bottle which was not cheap but very cold!) The cafe also sold many other drinks and there were tables and chairs for patrons as well as areas with benches.
It was very scenic and felt very relaxing, for me definitely worth the climb!
Nicky Hirst — Google review
If you're looking for a stellar view of Nice, check out Colline du Château. This place is simply fantastic! It's a prime spot for a bird's-eye view of the city, and the best part is, it's free.
Whether you fancy a climb or prefer a lift, they've got you covered. Plus, the spot is stroller and wheelchair friendly, so it's perfect for everyone.
But that's not all. Once you're up there, there's a pretty garden to chill in and some shops where you can grab a bite or a drink.
We decided to descend via the road, and it led us right back to the old town, Monument, a Giuseppe Garibaldi place, to be exact.
All in all, a must-visit if you're in Nice. It's a five-star experience for me!

I would wholeheartedly recommend this place if you are in Nice! You have several options to get up to the mountainside. There is a tram that can take you up; it will cost you about 12€, but it's worth it if you aren't capable of climbing the stairs. You can also drive up; there is parking up there, or you can simply take a taxi or Uber. I decided to take the stairs.

It’s free! There’s an elevator you can take up or take the stairs, driveway up/flat surface where you can travel by a cute trolley train. This is a family friendly park, it’s huge up at the top with several different playgrounds for kids of all ages from toddlers to middle school. Lot’s of open space, sitting areas, views, outdoor cafe that serves, beer wine, sandwiches, burgers, ice cream. Toilets are .50€ or 1.50€ on a credit card. Very relaxing open space

Colline du Château offers a wonderful viewpoint with panoramic vistas of the entire city of Nice. The climb to the top, though a bit steep, is rewarded with breathtaking scenery and a cascading waterfall along the way. After enjoying the views, you can descend on the other side of the mountain, perfect for a leisurely walk. At the hill's summit, you'll find two historic cemeteries to explore—one Jewish and the other Catholic—as well as two panoramic viewpoints offering stunning perspectives of Old Town and the port.
Sue Real — Google review
Although the history of this hill can be traced back to the 11th century, there are actually no eye-catching monuments and no historical ruins. The road sign up the hill indicates WC, but it is actually closed, which makes it very inconvenient for tourists. . The reason why it is known as the top tourist attraction in Nice is because, in fact, there is really nothing interesting to see in Nice.
People who come here are looking at Nice Bay and Nice City from the observation deck. But for local residents, this is a good place for a walk, not a special scenic spot.
The mountain is not high. You can climb up the mountain or take the elevator. There are several scenic spots on the way up the mountain with beautiful scenery and delicious food, so I think hiking is the better way.
Martin Miler — Google review
Wonderful view point. You have to go all the way to the top on the stairs and see a wonderful panorama of the entire city. There is also a waterfall on the way. You can go back down on the other side of the mountain, it is a good place for a nice walk.

The scenic walk up to the hill is refreshing, with charming pathways, and plenty of spots to pause and enjoy the surroundings. As I climbed up, the panoramic views of the city, the iconic coastline became breathtaking.

We walked all the way up from Old Nice - quite a hike up steep roads and stairs. About 5,000 to 8.000 steps according to out Fitbit. We were on the north west end and didn't have the elevator /ascenseur which is on the south end off the Promenade Des Anglais.
But really worth the climb for the amazing views of the harbour, the beach and the city.
We got to see the sun set over Nice. A bonus.

The Lérins Islands archipelago offers picturesque landscapes that are best enjoyed during off-peak season. However, there is only one eatery available, and the prices may be considered a bit steep. Despite this, Saint Margaret and Saint Honorat Islands provide a unique and timeless experience that is just a short distance from Cannes. These islands boast modern sculptures that add to their intrigue and create an adventurous atmosphere for visitors to explore.
Two Islands out of time, so close to Cannes but so far away at the same time. Winter seems to never exist in Saint Margaret and her little sister, Saint Honorat. Modern statues have been immersed between the two Islands making their discovery full of mystery...and fun.

(Translated by Google) I had been to Cannes several times and had never visited these two islands. Last summer I had the opportunity to go there. Frankly a treat even in the middle of summer there are many shuttles which means you don't have to wait too long, Sainte Marguerite Island is the larger of the two despite the crowds you always manage to find a quiet little spot where you can swim, but my preference is for the island of Saint Honorat, just magnificent, absolute tranquility reigns, restaurant with sea view, no need to take a plane to go abroad, a real corner of paradise, not far away.

J'étais allée plusieurs fois à Cannes et je n'avais jamais fait la visite de ces deux îles. L'été dernier j'ai eu l occasion de pouvoir y aller.

(Translated by Google) Ideal for walking during the day. I booked the crossing via the shipping company's website. Very beautiful landscapes worthy of a postcard, lots of places to swim, lounge and picnic. Bring walking shoes if necessary due to the presence of various soils (rocky, earth, concrete).
However, be careful where you step if you go off-trail, there are snakes in the groves (snakes no doubt?) where I came across one today.
However, to be redone
(Original)
Idéal pour se promener la journée. J'ai réservé la traversée via le site de la compagnie maritime. De très beaux paysages dignes d'une carte postale, beaucoup d'endroits pour se baigner, se prélasser, pic-niquer. Prévoir des chaussures de marche éventuellement en raison de la présence de sols divers (rocheux, terre, béton).
Attention par contre où vous mettez les pieds si vous vous en enfoncez hors sentiers, il y a des serpents dans les bosquets (couleuvres sans doute ?) où j'en ai croisé un aujourd'hui.

The Promenade des Anglais is a palm-lined street that features a bike path and is emblematic of Nice, the beautiful French city on the Mediterranean Sea. It's one of the most famous seaside promenades in the world, attracting tourists from all over who come to sample the local cuisine, relax on the beachfront or take in some of the city's famed sights.
It’s a nice walk along the promenade by the seaside. If the weather is good, it’s really worth the time to stroll along here and enjoy the coastline of Nice.

It is about 7km of magic. Whenever I am Nice I have to walk this walk where I get to enjoy the Mediterranean sea, different people walking long locals, and visitors. Different generations from all walks of life, it feels like a small world. I am glad that the city of Nice didn't allow anything to be built between the beach and the promenade.
Thank you Nice for having this spectacular space that can make you go on a journey.

The long, prestigious promenade known as the "Côte d'Azur" is located in Cannes and runs along the seafront for a mile. Along its route are many luxury shops, casinos, and palaces. It's also home to the famous Cannes Film Festival every May.
The famous boulevard. Nice shops along the way and great for walking by the beach.

Popularly known as Palais des Festivals et des Congres", La Croisette is about 22 km long promenade in Cannes along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea where the Cannes Film Festival is held. There is a sidewalk with hotels, casinos, brand stores, a rose garden and places with lots of shady trees where families meet and spend their quality time. There are interesting places around this place to stroll and explore. If you are falling short of time or do not have energy for a walk, then one can enjoy a small touristic city train tour to explore the nearby area. The place is dynamic with lots of hustle bustle of the tourists and locals. The evening sunsets and the night illuminations and combined with festive fireworks make this place truly romantic and mesmerizing. A must to visit when you are in France.

Still an amazing and mythical boulevard. Great for an evening stroll. Always buzzing with excitement!
Alpha - Animal Park is an ecological reserve and educational center in France that focuses on the conservation of grey wolves. The species had been eradicated from the country by 1930 but reappeared in 1992 near Utelle, having journeyed across the border from Italy. The park provides a family-friendly learning experience for visitors by showcasing three packs of these elusive animals in a semi-free environment.
We had the chance to visit the park just when it reopened and we were part of the first group of people visiting the wolfs. The whole experience is great, we had a very lovely girl as a guide with a lot of passion for the wolfs and for the entire area. She explained a lot of things and answered all the questions. There's is a small hike to do but it's easy and if you don't have proper shoes for snow you can rent a pair from the starting point for like 3€. Totally loved it and it's totally worth it. The wolfs seemed a bit scared and suspicious after a long period not seeing people but the experience it's a lovely one.

Rare attraction but definitely worth going if you’re an animal lover. I would say more interesting for kids. The park has altogether 6 wolves, due to the river floods in 2020, some animals like the Chamois escaped as we were told. The facility is very secure, the park guides are very informative and answer all questions about the wolves, we got to see them feed the wolves, it was quite interesting.

The 1 hr 20 min journey from Nice was absolutely stunning - with the road passing through gorges and mountain tunnels and cliffs towering high on either side. Our boys (11 and 14) loved it. It was 28 degrees in Nice (mid August) but high up the Alpha Park temperature dropped to a very pleasant 21 degrees. Makes sure you get your tickets at the building next to the very tall outdoor climbing wall. Then walk along the road a little before turning left up a rough Alpine path where you will find a bridge with an automated ticket barrier. At the Park we watched one of the pack of wolves up close through one way glass as they were fed raw chicken. Amazing! And then as we were leaving another pack began howling in unison. Very special. There is a restaurant but we didn't have time to enjoy it as we had to catch a flight home. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A nice place to enjoy nature and watch wolves though I did not come at the best time. There was snow on the ground and started melting, so the road was wet, dirty and slippery (I felt twice and luckily I didn't get hurt).
Remember to come before the feeding time (twice a day at 11:15 and 15:45) and not to miss the feeding though it lasts a few minutes. The wolves are around before the feeding.
Seems they are/have been expanding to include more animals and activities that will make it worthwhile for the long drive up there.

Great location, well organised and friendly service.
Beware it is 1500 meters up in the Alps - you need some good clothes and take some food with you... it is pretty much a wild forest so not many options to get your meals bought on location 😉

The Park Alpha is located in the Mercantour Alps, on a highs of 1900m over sea, nearly 2 hours drive from Grasse. The way is curvy and due to the big storm Alex,three years ago, especially the streets in the mountains are damaged and you really could see what water is able to destroy. Arriving at the park we first went to the store and got some nice things to remember this visit. Afterwards we went to the park itself, a little bit higher the street than the store,more in the valley. We had some time to see the surrounding and at 5pm our guided tour, a very well animal things known women and very well english speaking women went with us in the inner park to see the mountain goats first and then to see and feed the iberian wolves. This was amazing and wonderful to be part of it. Can't believe to be so close to a wolve. After this we went over to another side in the park and could see the european wolves pack and our guide told us so many things, answered any question to know about wolves in general as well as special things for this area and the wolves. I would like to say a very big thanks to her for this time to spent with us to get this experience with the wolves. We only could recommend this place to support and see this wonderful animals. We will come back to this beautiful place some time.... thanks!

I took part in a private tour to learn about the wolves and about the job of an animal caretaker. My guide was professional, shared her knowledge in a fun way and showed both passion and expertise for her job. It was interesting to see behind the scenes, to be able to take part in their daily chores and to get to meet the wolves up more close.
The storm had done a lot of damage but things are being rebuilt and still the park is able to offer a powerful experience to anyone who loves wolves and wants to spend a day in beautiful landscapes.
In their work they respect and protect the surrounding nature and keep things that are wild as wild as possible. The visitors also get educated about wolves which helps younger generations to understand these animals and perhaps sparks a desire to work for the good of wildlife in future.
Thank you for making my visit memorable. It was a pleasure.

Very nice place for walk and kids hangout.
Remember there is one parking above and then you walk down, another parking is down and you walk up.
If you are with kids preferably go to parking down.

Parking mandatory (5€/h) and a lot of people over the weekend.
Organize yourself to avoid the crowd.
Julien Hurth — Google review
Quite crowded but not without reason. Several lathe and small waterfalls can be viewed and experienced from a will maintained path.
Though mostly easy to walk with stairs were needed, it can be sometimes a bit steep and slippery.
Because there is only one trail along the river and the trail at points only allows one person, when crowded it is easily jammed.
Don't forget to bring some food and drinks with you if you venture past the first waterfall.
There is plenty of parking space (paid).

There are several walks to the waterfalls, we took the short one from the road above, but I believe you can walk a longer tour along the river and all around. You're able to walk very close to the falls themselves and watch from secure metal gantry. You can also view the falls from a viewpoint above.
There is a restaurant nearby, but I believe it is only open during certain seasons. It would provide a wonderful view of the falls while eating though!

Ein wunderschöner aber auch anspruchsvoller weg, für den man unbedingt sicheres Schuhwerk mitnehmen sollte. Die Anstrengung wird aber auf jedenfalls belohnt mit wunderschönen Wasserfällen und atemberaubenden Aussichten. Leider ist die Parkgebühr mit 15€ aber wirklich nicht billig, hoffentlich wird mit dem Geld aber dann wenigstens die Erhaltung des wunderschönen Naturschauspiels erhalten :)

A beautiful but also demanding path for which you should definitely take safe footwear. The effort is definitely rewarded with beautiful waterfalls and breathtaking views. Unfortunately, the parking fee of €15 is really not cheap, but hopefully the money will at least be used to preserve the beautiful natural spectacle :)

Beautiful waterfalls and walk...would definately recommend it for a day trip. It could be quite difficult to walk parts of the route if you had limited mobility as there are many steps and slippery rocks but you can choose how far you walk. On the route we took I couldn't see any restrooms or restaurants which were open unfortunately

Nice cascade. Unfortunately, it was almost dry because of the hot summer.
-2 stars because of the parking lot for which you have to pay (5 euro 1h). The first 20 minutes are free, but it is almost impossible (without running) in that timeslot to walk to the waterfall and back
Stefan de Vries — Google review
Absolutely stunning waterfalls. Make sure you wear good footwear with a lot of grip as it's quite slippy in places. Also it's best not to go off on the longer walk in the forest without a map as it is really easy to get lost! There are multiple paths and they are not sign posted once you get away from the main walk along the gorge with the waterfalls.

Very nice, but a lot of people and a somewhat difficult path at times.
