Your adventure begins with the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This reserve is one of the last Mediterranean sanctuaries where nature remains untouched, providing refuge to fascinating endemic flora and numerous seabird species, including majestic ospreys and peregrine falcons. Accessible only by sea, Scandola is strictly protected to preserve its delicate ecosystem. Cruising among its red cliffs and hidden coves is a timeless experience, where every view seems like a living postcard.
After exploring the reserve, be captivated by Elbu Bay, with its turquoise, crystal-clear waters.

In winter, Girolata becomes a secluded refuge with only about fifteen residents, retaining all its charm and authenticity. Its history—from near abandonment after the war to revival through tourism—adds a cultural and human dimension to your journey.
To extend the adventure, you can choose the option to explore the Calanche de Piana, an exceptional site where pink granite formations have been sculpted over centuries by temperature changes, strong winds, and sea spray.
