Overview

A 13 day, self-guided cycling adventure in Corsica, taking on the complete GT20 trail in all its glory. Starting in the north in Bastia and ending in Bonifacio on the southern tip, you cycle along the west coast, and then inland, through Corsican gems such as Cap Corse, Île-Rousse, Ajaccio, Calvi, the Calanques de Pianathis, and many more. Staying in mostly small, locally-owned hotels in an array of small coastal towns or villages, you have no shortage of opportunities to swim after cycling, and no shortage to experience Corsican cuisine and cultural heritage either.
