Overview

Self-Guided Bike Holidays in North Corsica: Ride the GT20 from Bastia to Calvi. In seven perfect days, you’ll roll past rugged cliffs and centuries-old vineyards into France’s first lobster port and Christopher Columbus’ birthplace. Watchtowers still keep an eye on the horizon, while you pedal through it all, discovering hidden coves, quiet villages, and the warm, welcoming soul of northern Corsica. Your bags travel ahead, so there’s nothing to carry but curiosity. Just follow the road and let Haute-Corse sink in, mile by mile. You will discover the capital of Northern Corsica, the old port, the freely accessible citadel and the old town, the picturesque marinas with their small fishing ports, the villages of Balagne, including Sant'Antonino and Pigna, and Calvi.
