Cargese

Cargèse occupies a promontory above the Gulf of Sagone on Corsica’s western coast. The village faces a shoreline of coves, headlands and maquis, with the Mediterranean shaping local life as much as the island’s rugged interior. Its distinctive identity stems from Greek families from the Mani Peninsula, who established the present settlement in the late 18th century. Two churches, one Greek Orthodox and one Roman Catholic, stand opposite one another and express that shared inheritance. Beaches, coastal roads and sea routes connect Cargèse with a less urban side of Corsica. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different stretches of western Corsica.
