Southern Corsica from Calvi to Bonifacio by bike

From Calvi onwards, the spectacular sandy beaches of Balagne give way to the granite and volcanic rocks of the northwest coast. Admire its steep cliffs in vibrant ochre, pink, or red hues, with only a few rare wild beaches dotted with mauve and black sands and pebbles torn from the volcanic peaks of the central mountain ridge.

On a road running along the coast you will reach your stop for the night, the small village of Galéria, located by the sea.

You will continue today on a road that is considered one of the most beautiful on the island.
The Galeria coast in Porto corresponds to the coastline of the Gulf of Porto and its immediate surroundings: Scandola peninsula with Cape Seninu to the north and Capu Rossu and Orchinu points to the south. This extraordinary maritime facade is the must-see of the Corsican coasts.
By road, you will repeatedly have breathtaking views of the beauties of this coastline.

A day with a fairly significant elevation gain. You will pass through many charming villages including Evisa, where chestnuts reign supreme, and then the splendid Aïtone state forest.
You'll discover one of the island's most remote regions, the Niolu. You'll pass through Albertacce, Casamaccioli, and Calacuccia on the shores of its vast lake. Passing by the magnificent Scala de la Santa Regina, you'll reach Corte, your stop for the night.

This day promises to be incredible, a mountain stage through chestnut trees that will take you over the famous Col de Verde (located at 1289 m) to reach Zicavo.

Zicavo is a mountain village, one of many in Corsica, nestled in the heart of a wild and unspoiled valley. Surrounded by mountains, this village in the Upper Taravo Valley, within the Natural Park, will charm you, especially in summer with its refreshing coolness (it sits at an altitude of 750 meters). Zicavo's charm lies in the water that flows constantly along the roads and through the village, irrigating the gardens. Above the village, the Pont de la Camera waterfall will enchant you with its crystal-clear pools, cascading cascade, and flat rocks.

On this day, you will drive on the road crossing the Vaccia pass before reaching the sumptuous and typical village of Zonza.
Zonza is part of one of the oldest inhabited areas of Corsica, known as the Land of the Lords in the Middle Ages. Typical of the island's south, the village possesses an undeniable charm with its ochre-stone facades and small shops. Perched at an altitude of 762 meters in the heart of the Alta Rocca region, Zonza is prized for its breathtaking setting, which is immediately apparent to visitors upon arrival. In the distance, against an azure sky, the famous Bavella Needles stand out.

Today you will pass through the village of Levie. You will feel completely at ease amidst this beautiful natural surroundings. Then, a magnificent view of the Gulf of Porto Vecchio, before arriving in the sumptuous town of Bonifacio.

End of stay after your breakfast.

A private transfer from your hotel to Figari airport is included in your stay.
