Coastal cycling tour around Cap Corse

Take advantage of your arrival day to visit Bastia, the capital of Haute-Corse. Take the time to wander the narrow streets lined with colorful houses by the Genoese Citadel and enjoy a coffee on the quays of the Old Port.

To begin, a short first leg awaits you. Leave Bastia and explore Cap Corse along a beautiful coastal road. We recommend a short stop in Erbalunga, a magnificent little fishing village admired by painters. You'll end your day in Sisco.

Continue north along the coast. Enjoy the magnificent panoramas that unfold before you and take a swim in one of the region's many wild coves. You'll spend the night in Macinaggio and its charming marina.

The day begins with a climb from the port of Macinaggio to the Mattei mill. Along the way, don't miss a stop at the Rogliano viewpoint, from which you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the tip of the cape and the island of Giraglia. You then continue your journey along the west coast of Cap Corse, which is much more rugged and winding than the east coast.

Here, the landscapes are wilder, with steep cliffs plunging into the water, offering a breathtaking setting! We recommend a short detour to Centuri, a charming little fishing port renowned for its lobsters and very popular with celebrities in the summer. Your stop for the day ends in the pretty hilltop village of Canari.

Continue south along the Gulf of Saint-Florent. You'll reach Nonza and its immense and beautiful black pebble beach bordering a turquoise sea. The mountainside village overlooks the beach with its beautiful Paoline tower.

Then, the landscape gradually begins to change, giving way to limestone mountains and vineyards. You'll end your day in Saint-Florent, a charming little port surrounded by the mountains of the Cap and nicknamed "the Corsican Saint-Tropez." Enjoy your evening strolling through the lively little streets of the citadel.

You leave the coastal landscapes of Saint-Florent to cross the Serra di Pigno which separates you from Bastia. Make a short stop in the picturesque village of Patrimonio renowned for its organic vineyards.

You then climb to the Teghime pass (536m) where a spectacular view of the Gulf of Saint-Florent and the Agriates Desert awaits you. Finally, dive towards Bastia on magnificent roads which lead you to the sea, you end your stay in style!

After breakfast, enjoy a final stroll in Bastia before heading back.
