Corsica is famed for its stunning scenery and charming villages. Departing from the pier you will travel along winding roads, as you sit back and enjoy the views of its picturesque villages and the scenery of this beautiful island.
You will first visit the village of Calenzana, overshadowed by the imposing Monte Grosso range and encircled by a belt of olive trees. Its pleasant, tree-lined square overlooks the sparking Gulf of Calvi.
Your next stop will be at the oldest inhabited village in Corsica -- San Antonino. It is visible from miles around, and its cluster of orange buildings cling to the granite hilltop like a bird's nest. The town's circular layout of narrow cobbled lanes, vaulted passageways and neat stone houses has changed little over the past three hundred years. During your stop in San Antonio, you'll have an opportunity to sample some delicious typical Corsican snacks.
On your way back to Calvi, you'll pass through the wonderful old villages of Corbara and Aregno en route to the pier.
Please note: In the summer months, heavy traffic can be expected in the popular town of San Antonino, which may cause delays. The coach is unable to drive into the center of San Antonino and will park below the village; care should be taken walking into the village as the steps up are steep and uneven. Be advised that the roads traveled are quite windy with numerous curves. Wear comfortable, non-skid walking shoes.
