In the morning we'll get everyone kitted out with their hire bikes before leaving Ajaccio via the 3rd stage of the Tour de France. The route winds its way up to the Col de Bastiano before a superb descent to the Gulf of Liscia. Your accommodation is located in the heart of the beautiful “greek” town of Cargese.

Dinner and night in a 3-star hotel.

Back in the saddle after breakfast, from the superb village of Cargese, whose Greek characteristics make it quite different from the rest of Corsica.
The route then offers splendid views towards the interior of the island until we reach the much celebrated 'Calanches de Piana' (deep red rock formations plunging dramatically towards the sea). Fast descent towards the Gulf of Porto, your destination for the night.

Roughly 31km (D+: 705m ; D-: 657m ; Min.: 9m ; Max.: 480m)

An optional ride is possible to the amazing beach of Arone, below Piana. The whole day counts in that case 54km.

Today you have the opportunity to visit the Scandola marine nature reserve, a UNESCO heritage site. Relax and take in the views from the comfort of a tour boat, watching out for dolphins and other marine life. The other option for keen cyclists is to cycle to the highest col on Corsica, the formidable Col de Verghio (+1464m). The route takes you through Ota and Evisa (the chestnut capital on Corsica) before you climb up through the forest of Aitone to reach the Col. It is possible to do only part of the route. Return back to Porto down the Gorge de Spelunca. The views are just out of this world.
