Added by Bart Perdieus
General Description Calanques de Piana (Corsican: E Calanche di Piana) are Corsican calanques located in Piana, between Ajaccio and Calvi, in the gulf of Porto.
A calanque (from the Corsican and Occitan words of pre-Indo-European origin calanca (plural calanche in Corsican, calancas in Occitan) with meaning "inlet" ) is a steep-walled inlet, cove, or bay that is developed in limestone, dolomite, or other carbonate strata and found along the Mediterranean coast. A calanque is a steep-sided valley formed within karstic regions either by fluvial erosion or the collapse of the roof of a cave that has been subsequently partially submerged by a rise in sea level.
