Lonely Planet review

Flaming a fiery red in the sunlight, the giant granite cliffs and outcrops of Les Calanques de Piana (E Calanche in Corsican) are a spectacular landscape of red granite cliffs and spiky outcrops, carved into bizarre shapes by the forces of wind and water.

The multicoloured spires tower 300m above the deep-blue waters of the sea below and are beautifully contrasted by the green foliage of pine and chestnut forests. Though dazzling from the road, you have to take to one of the clifftop walking trails to truly appreciate the views.
