Visit Ajaccio Corsica

Ajaccio port Corsica

We left wild and long beaches of southern Corsica and traveled further to Ajaccio. We were a little bit worried if we will be able to see again beaches that will be worth visiting. We found near Ajjaco about 10 km south two camps.

They were both well equipped and clean, the plots for camping were large enough for bigger tents and they were in a nice shade.

We went in the evening to the city. I was surprised by a strong traffic that lead to the town center, so I turned my car pretty quicly to a large parking place near the sea port.
