Best in Corsica



























One of the most amazing places we visited on our last journey was Girolata. This bohemian village on the west coast of Corsica can only be visited by boat as no roads are built to it to preserve the village's natural beauty and environment. We were glad to have found such a great shelter when the storm hit in, as the village gave us some excellent last couple of days in Corsica before leaving the island for this time. The turquoise bay, the green and moist hills and the free spirited hippie ambience makes this small village a rare beauty hidden in between the slope of the steep mountains.

It was beautiful to see the animals here, living just like they were free - the donkeys strolling along with the cows, the cats and dogs running in and out of the bars and creperies. This place offers such an relaxing environment that it was hard to leave.

Some amenities can be found such as a few restaurants, smaller accommodations, a couple of bars, wifi from the marina (bad reception though), water service on the pontoon etc.

Mooring on buoys around 27 Euros for our 10,5 meter vessel. Wifi 5 Euros for 24 hours. You can also anchor up just outside of the moorings, but that wasn't possible while we were there as of the strong SW winds.

Girolata is a Must-Go, when visiting Corsica!
