Let's start with a bit of history...
The port of Centuri is said to date back to the 6th century BC. It was known as 'Centurinum Civitas' (hence its name), and a Roman road connected it to the village of Macinaggio. In the 17th century, Centuri was the second busiest fishing port in Corsica after Erbalunga. The village of Centuri is located far from the sea and its Genoese tower, which is not uncommon in this part of the island. This would even be one of the characteristics of Northern Corsica: for centuries, the danger came from the sea, and it was vital to see the enemy coming from as far away as possible.
Today, this small village
With about 200 inhabitants and one of the busiest ports in Cap Corse during the summer, today this small village can be accessed by road, or for the more adventurous, by a coastal walk known as the 'Customs Officers' Path' starting from Macinaggio, which takes around 8 hours and offers stunning views of the sea and the islands, or of course, by sea!In addition to being part of a circuit rich in landscapes, natural scenery, and architectural treasures (such as towers, chapels, typical hamlets, and mills), Centuri harbors a unique heritage: old colorful stone houses, and a port where you can stroll on a summer evening and relive the tradition of fishing.
Centuri is considered the village of Coral, but above all, of lobster. You'll find numerous restaurants offering this specialty. The combination of pastel-colored buildings, water, and fishing boats makes it a very picturesque place not to be missed! And perhaps for a day, take the time to wander through the alleys, savor lobster pasta with an incredible view?
