CORSICA

This is a delightful cycling holiday, which takes you along the coast and through the mountains of this fascinating island, and has some fabulous riding on wonderful roads, offering some of the best cycling to be found anywhere in Europe.

The holiday starts at Nice, from where we catch the late afternoon ferry to the attractive resort town of Calvi. The following day we start cycling with a ride along the stunning western coast of the island, the road hugging the cliff face much of the way, with some fabulous views over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.

We pass through the little resort town of Porto and and continue past the impressive rock formations at Les Calanche before
reaching Corsica’s capital, Ajaccio. Here we turn inland, the route taking you through the hills and past the prehistoric site of Filitosa before rejoining the coast which you follow to the port town
of Propriano.

The route then heads into the central mountains, taking some lovely wild roads that take you over some moderately high mountain passes and through some attractive villages. After spending the night at the old capital of Corte, the final day’s ride takes you through rocky hills before dropping back to the coast at the busy town of Bastia. From here we take the ferry back to Nice to return home, or you can fly directly from Bastia back to the UK.

This holiday uses small family run hotels. Corsica has some excellent restaurants - the regional cuisine uses quality local ingredients and menus have a distinct Italian influence.
