Solid work of art with a historical background about the escape of the Greeks to Corsica (Cargese), who came to Corsica with simple boats under the most difficult conditions due to the expulsion of the Turks at the time. Many have died as a result of expulsion and flight. They were able to settle in Corsica. But originally this did not always result in the friendship of the Corsicans living here at the time, so the odyssey continued. History shows that today Cargese is a gem and tourist magnet, where Corsicans live peacefully together, celebrate and even pass on and remember the story with friendship and pride through this monument. What can be deduced from this today is that difficulties at the beginning can lead to a good end through increasing acceptance, but it all takes time.

We rented a mobile home at the campsite in Sagone. There was the essential infrastructure that you need as a tourist, including a well-stocked supermarket with many regional products right outside the door. The beach of Sagone is not the most beautiful in Corsica, but it is quite nice.
