    If travelling as a foot passenger from Marseille, make sure you go to the foot passenger terminal and not the car entrance (where google maps seems to take you). Unhelpfully, the exact location of the foot passenger terminal isn't on Corsica Linea's website at the time of writing.

    The exact location of the foot passenger terminal is:

    Gare maritime piétons Corse,
    4982 Quai de la Joliette, 13002 Marseille, France

    Other than not knowing where to go to get on the ferry and subsequently nearly missing it, Corsica Linea had really good service, good value food and nice to have a selection of films to watch in our cabin on the Marseille-Ajaccio ferry.

    This is a beautiful undeveloped beach about 25 minutes drive from Ajaccio.

    It’s a lovely natural bay with crystal clear water with that beautiful aqua marine tone thanks to the white sand. There’s some seaweed build up at the edges but only to be expected with a natural beach.

    There’s one restaurant in the beach that also offers a limited number of Matresses and umbrellas for a combined €30

    But be warned there’s no mobile signal there and as a result both the restaurant and the sun loungers are cash only. Pizzas in the restaurant are hearty and as a result are enough for 2 assuming no one is a big eater.

    Overall well worth a visit

    Got here from a bus tour to find the parking lot full of cars but few people around? What happened to all those people? I later found out those people were hiking up to the historical watch tower at the summit of this mountain with incredible views of the Corsican coast, faraway Ajaccio, and the Mediterranean. Worth exploring this scenic area.

    You can take the public number 5 bus from center of Ajaccio to this final stop. Once there walk out and around the watchtower and take in the view of the Iles sanguinaires and then walk back about 15-20 minutes to Plage Moorea which is one of the nicest Ajaccio beaches

    We were in town for the day, so a stop at the market was a good way to spend some time. We strolled among the vendors with their lovely produce, most of which was grown locally. Some prepared foods as well. Friendly place.

    One of the biggest and prettiest squares in town, nicely decorated with a big statue and good landscaping. You can find a good cafe nearby and quite a few people around.

    Probably the best museum in town with lots of memorabilia devoted to the town's most important native. This is where his family lived and you can come here to learn of Napoleon's life. Your visit will not take long.

    Big collection of fine art (paintings and sculptures) - perfect for art lovers. Would have liked to have had some way of getting English descriptions of what I was looking at.

    Probably the biggest church in town, nicely decorated outside and inside. Worth a quick visit to note the decorations inside especially.

    we discovered this beautiful beach, we were able to enjoy the sun and in summer there must be many tourists but in March we were the only ones.
