Cheap flights from Bucharest to Ajaccio from £158

It is possible to pay with a card almost everywhere in Ajaccio. But going by public transport or shopping in markets, take some small money with you. Also, coins will come in handy for public toilets in the city and on some beaches.

For an excellent view of Ajaccio and the island’s stunning coastline, take a walk out of the central area of town toward the hills along the Route des Cretes. You can find the start of the walk at the Bois des Anglais, marked by a signpost.

Get up early, take some warm clothing and get ready for a hike over Ajaccio, with its breathtaking coastal scenery. This strolling is especially magic at the crack of dawn. A zigzag trail leads you from the Bois Anglais through deep forests. After a while, you will find yourself in an ominous granite boulder called Tete de Mort (translating as Death's Head), which, according to local legend, is the petrified head of Lucifer itself. For this adventure, it is better to contact any local travel agency and book a trip since the route to this site is difficult and confusing.
