Scandola Nature Reserve
UNESCO-listed red porphyry cliffs and hidden sea caves on the western coast of Corsica.

The former prison colony turned National Park, known for its pristine beaches and wild albino donkeys.
Capo Caccia
The massive limestone promontory and the 'Sleeping Giant' silhouette that guards the entrance to Alghero's bay.
The right side is unbeatable for evening flights; the sunset over the Mediterranean is spectacular. During the descent, look for the 'Grotte di Nettuno' lighthouse on the tip of Capo Caccia. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Corsican cliffs.
