Sunday

First bike ride in Corsica with a scenic route along the spectacular west coast. On your e-bike, enjoy the sunny views of the Gulf of Saint-Florent, where the sea merges with the wild landscape. Cross the picturesque Cap Corse, the characteristic "finger of Corsica" of the island, an unspoiled region offering unique views.
Today's destination is Nonza, one of the most charming villages in Corsica, perched on a cliff with a panoramic Genoese tower and the famous black volcanic pebble beach, a landscape that creates a striking contrast with the intense blue of the sea. After a refreshing swim and a relaxing break in the village's narrow streets, you are ready to return at a leisurely pace to Saint-Florent, cycling through wild nature, vineyards, and spectacular cliffs. In the evening, you can stroll among the bars and restaurants of the port or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Saint-Florent.

Monday

We leave the port of Saint-Florent behind us and begin our ride towards the rolling hills of Nebbiu, one of the most fascinating areas of northern Corsica. Here, the landscape changes rapidly: from the crystal clear waters of the gulf, we venture among vineyards, olive groves, and Mediterranean scrub, surrounded by the scent of myrtle and wild rosemary. The road climbs gently and offers extraordinary panoramic views, where we can stop to take breathtaking photos and admire the view of Saint-Florent from above. The contrast between the intense blue of the sea and the bright green of Corsican nature makes the route a unique experience for those who love to discover a corner of Corsica by bike. After a pleasant break, we resume our ride, tackling a scenic descent that gently takes us back to Saint-Florent, with the last exciting view of the gulf accompanying us until our return.

Tuesday

Today you will explore the Corsican hinterland with a scenic bike ride surrounded by nature. Leaving Saint-Florent , you will follow the winding roads through the vineyards of Patrimonio, home to some of the best Corsican DOC wines. Here, hills covered with rows of vines alternate with Mediterranean scrub and unspoiled landscapes. Along the way, you can stop for a tasting of local wines, savoring the authentic character of this land. Continuing uphill, you reach the Col de Teghime, a picturesque mountain pass connecting the west and east coasts of Corsica. From its summit, you can admire one of the most spectacular views on the island, with views of Bastia and Saint-Florent, the sea stretching to the horizon and, on clear days, even the Italian coast. After a well-deserved break to capture the moment with a few photos, begin the descent towards Saint-Florent, enjoying the breeze and the scenic road.

Wednesday

Treat yourself to some relaxation and discovery. The morning is perfect for visiting Saint-Florent at a leisurely pace: stop off at the Genoese Citadel and stroll along the marina to soak up the lively atmosphere among the small squares and cafes overlooking the sea.
For those who want a unique experience, we recommend aboat trip to Saleccia beach, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in Corsica. Accessible only by sea or via a long off-road trail, this beach is a hidden paradise, characterized by fine white sand and crystal clear Caribbean-colored waters. It is the perfect place to swim and relax away from the crowds. In the afternoon, we suggest a short bike ride around Saint-Florent, among vineyards and coastal views. For dinner, you can choose a typical restaurant to savor local Corsican specialties such as brocciu, lonzu, and other traditional dishes, accompanied by a good glass of Patrimonio DOC wine. A perfect day to recharge your batteries before your next e-bike adventures in Corsica!

Thursday

Today, one of the most scenic stages of our bike tour in Corsica. Leave Saint-Florent and cycle inland: the first section takes you towards the Col de San Stefano, a pass offering spectacular views of the Corsican mountains, with a panorama stretching all the way to the sea. From here, continue towards Murato, one of the gems of inland Corsica. This picturesque village is famous for its extraordinary Church of Saint-Michel, a masterpiece of 13th-century Romanesque-Pisan architecture. Its distinctive white and green stone cladding creates a unique chromatic effect that has made it one of the most photographed monuments in Corsica. After the visit, you will have time to stop at a local restaurant, where you can try traditional Corsican charcuterie, famous for its quality. In the afternoon, you will return by bike along a gentler, more scenic route, enjoying the sun and the Mediterranean breeze on the descent to Saint-Florent.

Friday

Today you will cycle through one of Corsica's most incredible landscapes: the Agriates Desert. Despite its name, this region is not a true desert, but a vast area of Mediterranean scrub, rich in wild vegetation, barren hills, and pristine beaches stretching 35 km. It covers approximately 15,000 hectares between Saint-Florent and Ostriconi, and is considered a true paradise for nature and outdoor lovers. The route takes you along scenic dirt roads, with spectacular views of hidden bays and imposing mountains. Cycling in the Agriates allows you to reach some of the hilltop villages of Nebbiu, where time seems to have stood still. Stop at a traditional inn to sample sheep's cheese, Mediterranean honey, and artisanal cured meats. Return to Saint-Florent in the afternoon.

Saturday

After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to Saint-Florent and return to Bastia, the last stop on your cycling holiday in Corsica. Before departure, we have some free time to visit the historic center of Bastia, a city with authentic charm, less touristy than other Corsican destinations, but rich in history and culture. You can lose yourself in the narrow streets of the Citadel, explore the old port, admire the splendid view from theAllodiana, a panoramic balcony overlooking the sea and the ancient Genoese fortifications.
Transfer to the port or airport for those continuing their journey. If you have traveled with your bike, you can reach the port or airport using the GPX track, and we will take care of your luggage transfer. If you prefer convenience, we can also arrange transfer for you and your bike for this last leg at an extra cost. Goodbye Corsica!
