Embark on the Grand Tour of Corsica, a classic 8-day circuit departing from Bastia or Calvi, which will unveil all the island's treasures. From the picturesque villages of Cap Corse to the renowned vineyards of Patrimonio, from the Agriates Desert to the authentic alleys of Corte, the island's former capital, you'll traverse the majestic forests of Valdo-Niello and Aïtone before reaching the Gulf of Porto and the prodigious Calanques of Piana carved in red granite. The journey continues to the imperial city of Ajaccio and its Sanguinaires Islands, the mysterious Filitosa menhirs, and the breathtaking Bonifacio perched on its white limestone cliffs, before a return through Castagniccia and its centuries-old chestnut forests. A complete itinerary that combines wild nature, ancient history, and the Corsican art of living, arranged to measure by our local team.
