A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Piana creeks offer a magnificent show of rock masses, peaks, mineral sculptures, needles and red granite cliffs. Overhanging the sea, this extraordinary site with numerous shapes is a dream-like place. Some rocks conjure up animals and figures, like a dog's head, a heart and a bishop. Colours are magnificent, especially at sunset! And what a contrast with the deep blue of the sea!

The Piana forest and its footpaths let visitors discover the surrounding nature and creeks from a different angle.
