As soon as you moor your boat, you&#8217;ll understand why it&#8217;s so fascinating.   <strong>Everything here is in contrast: between the black rock, the white lime, the deep blue of the sea and the bright light.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.costacroisieres.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Costa<\/a>, there are many <strong>excursion options<\/strong> to choose from, depending on your desires, your energy&#8230; and your curiosity.

The glass cabins offer a breathtaking view of the <strong>caldera<\/strong>, the bay created by the volcano&#8217;s collapse, and the steep slopes of the island. It&#8217;s fast, smooth and the perfect way to get off to an effortless start.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-295x166.jpeg 295w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-880x495.jpeg 880w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-534x300.jpeg 534w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-180x100.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-312x175.jpeg 312w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-829x466.jpeg 829w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-372x209.jpeg 372w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6270-edited-296x167.jpeg 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>But some prefer the <strong>traditional 600 steps<\/strong> winding along the cliff face.
