Nave-Va, Place de la Marine - Ota

Enjoy a cruise from Porto to discover the Scandola nature reserve and step into the village of Girolata straight from the sea ! Set sail towards the south of the island from Porto. Head along the west coast to the Scandola Nature Reserve. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the last enclaves in the Mediterranean. Admire the stunning landscapes and diverse resources. Marvel at the contrast of colours between the red of the rock, the blue of the sea, and the green of the maquis. You'll reach the small village of Girolata from the sea. Enjoy 30 minutes of free time to stroll around the citadel or swim in the creek. If you wish, you can extend your cruise to the rocky inlets (or calanches, as they're called in Corsica) of Piana !
