Our To Do List to spend 24 hours in Ajaccio
Only one day to visit the Imperial City? Here's our to-do list to make sure you don't miss a thing...
Take a stroll through the Ajaccio market
The Ajaccio market [Mercatu d'Aiacciu] is the hub of Ajaccio (and Ajaccio-style) life. Here you can sample local specialities and take some home with you in your luggage, so that you can extend your vacation even after you've returned home...
Stroll through the narrow streets of the old town
The facades of the buildings in the old town, with their Mediterranean colours, bear witness to the time when Ajaccio was a Genoese town. You will pass in front of the private mansions of the most important Ajaccian families in the history of the town...
Lunch on the terrace
With 2,532 hours of sunshine, you are bound to have good weather during your stay in Ajaccio.
Take the opportunity to sit on the terrace and enjoy a plate of Corsican cold cuts and cheeses. In season, you can even have lunch with your feet in the water in a straw hut and then finish off with a siesta to perfect your tan.
Take a photo of the Iles Sanguinaires archipelago
Off the coast of Ajaccio lie the mythical Iles Sanguinaires, protagonists of Alphonse Daudet's short story collection Lettres de mon Moulin.
Their name intrigues, their colour at sunset is expected by all photographers... you will have understood, it is an unmissable place.
It will take you between 20 and 30 minutes to get to the Parata peninsula to admire them. By car, by public transport, or on excursions by small train or tourist bus, all roads lead to La Parata!
NB: excursions by small train and tourist bus, as well as sea tours with tasting, take place only between April and October.
