Wandering & wildlife in Bonifacio

We had a couple of lovely walks from Bonifacio. You can walk from the town east along the cliffs to Cap Pertusato & it's lighthouse. There are fantastic views back towards the town which looks like it is clinging to the edge of the cliffs. We also had views over the Ile Lavazzi where we had been anchored & over to Sardinia although visibility was not great.
The round trip took about 3 hours, luckily we set off early as by our return journey we had a stream of French tourist battling up the path towards us but we had only seen a handful of people in the morning.

We also walked out to Cap Pertusato which is on the west side of the harbour & meanders through a nature reserve. Along with some great views of Bonifacio you walk to a couple of almost deserted bays. Although this best part of the day was definitely spotting a tortoise, we never knew Corsica had tortoise but spotted one rustling close to the edge of the path, lucky us! The walk again is about a 3 hour round trip but felt like about 20 hours with the heat on that day! We both feel asleep after lunch!
