listo's question: What's so great about the landscape in Corsica? My friends who had seen it seemed overwhelmed...(give a different answer) .
Les Calanches, meaning the granite pinnacles and weird-shaped outcroppings, build a nice scenery coloured in thousands of shades from orange, pink to vermilion. Guy de Maupassant wrote about these phantasmagorical formations: "a nightmarish menagerie petrified by the will of an extravagant god". They tower at 3000 ft above sea level, and allow a narrow road to curl among them. Corsica's original name, Kalliste, given by Greeks actually means "the most beautiful".
