alata

Alata is a pleasant village on the outskirts of Ajaccio. It's especially worth the detour for the breathtaking panorama over the gulf and the town of Ajaccio!
Alata is also known as the birthplace of the family of Count Charles André Pozzo-di-Borgo, Napoleon's historic adversary and ambassador to the Russian Tsar. The Château de la Punta bears witness to this heritage. The building is not open to the public, but the access road offers a lovely walk with panoramic views.
The historic village is also very close to the magnificent Gulf of Lava and its white sandy beach, classified as a Natura 2000 site.
It's also a lively, dynamic village where you'll find a number of livestock breeders and producers of renowned agricultural specialties (cheese, brocciu, etc.), as well as other producers and craftsmen.
