Pointe de Samulari

Pointe de Samulari is a summit on the eastern coast of Corsica that rises 96 meters above sea level. From the top, you can see across the Mediterranean landscape and the coastal waters.

The summit served as a landmark for ships sailing along the Corsican coast since ancient times. This role as a navigation aid was part of the old trading routes crossing the Mediterranean.

Local shepherds have long used this elevated position to watch over their herds in the surrounding Mediterranean scrubland. This knowledge of the landscape continues to shape how people in the region interact with the mountainous terrain.

Marked trails from the nearest parking area lead to the summit, and sturdy footwear is essential. The walk takes roughly one hour and the ground can be steep and rocky in places.

The summit displays distinctive rock formations that reflect the geological forces that shaped Corsica. These features tell the story of how the mountains in this region were built.
