DIANA'S POND
The Etang de Diana, Corsica's aquaculture mecca, famous since antiquity for its oyster production
Known since ancient times, it is still today the Mecca of Corsican aquaculture. The Romans were fond of shellfish and Corsican oysters were renowned. Traces of their oyster farming can still be seen in the "îlot des pêcheurs" (fishermen's islet), which was formed from an accumulation of oyster shells! With a surface area of 570 ha, it is the third largest pond in Corsica. Oysters are grown here, of course, but so are mussels and clams, which can be bought or tasted on site in the very pleasant stilted restaurant.
