Full Day Corsica Villages Tour from Calvi

This pleasant journey will take you along winding roads and through the picturesque villages of the Balagne. You will discover the Balagne countryside, one of the most fertile regions of Corsica of the past, famous for its rich production of honey, fruits and wine. Today, acres of gnarled olive trees and undulating remnants of dry stone walls intermittently break up the pattern of pale granite rock. Our first stop will be the terraced village of Lumio overlooking the bay, with its outstanding Romanesque church. From there, the road winds quietly inland to typical Corsican villages: Lavatoggio, Cateri, San Antonino, Aregno, Pigna, Corbara. . . We will stop to discover these old villages, their history and local traditions, the local products and above all the magnificent views that await us. We'll continue by exploring Ile Rousse, the Corsican port founded by Pasqual Paoli. Then the silver sandy beaches and of course Algajola, the ancient Phoenician port, visited by the Romans during their retreat.
