Friday 8 May 2026, our last full day on the east coast. The wind has picked up and the sea is raging in Ghisonaccia: big waves and rollers, and the show is almost as beautiful as on a calm day.

Octopus carpaccio and risotto at Ghiso Beach Poppies, olive trees and the sunset Also on Instagram that day Practical info Octopus carpaccio and risotto at Ghiso Beach Of course we go back to Ghiso Beach. Facing the sea, we take ages deciding on the fish, before choosing an octopus carpaccio and then a risotto. The octopus, sliced very thinly with a drizzle of olive oil, is a real success.
Poppies, olive trees and the sunset In the afternoon, a walk around Ghisonaccia between Corsican olive trees and fields of poppies. And to finish, a sunset only Corsica can deliver.
