Our most popular Road Cycling Holiday, Corscia ; known to ancient Greeks as “Kalliste” - the most beautiful and referred to as The Beautiful Isle by generations of travellers ever since, Corsica is one of the most diverse and dramatic places in Europe. Our place-to-place cycling tour around the north of the island, takes in the very best of the many delights that this special island has to offer.

Beginning and ending in the bustling historic city of Bastia on the eastern coast of Corsica, this road cycling holiday is a fascinating and dramatic combination of deserted coastal roads, brightly painted hillside villages and deserted coves. Corsica also boasts some of the most spectacular mountain riding you could ever wish for.

We begin by cycling around Cap Corse, the island’s stunningly beautiful and sparsely populated northern peninsular. From here we bike through the mountainous Desert des Agriates and passing olive groves, vineyards and beautiful mountain villages follow the Route des Artisans to the chic coastal town of Calvi with its marina, citadel and pastel coloured houses.

Beyond Calvi we head to the tiny and peaceful village of Porto along road which is regarded by many as the most stunning coastal cycling route in Europe. After recharging in Porto we head back inland, climbing over the Corsica's highest mountain pass before dropping to the old capital of Corte. Our final days cycling is through the chestnut forests of Castagniccia arriving in Bastia for our final evening of fine food and wine.
