Corsica Memories - June 25
L&K's grand tour of northern Corsica 2025.


Last Day: Farewell to Corsica
Took a taxi to the airport and a plane to a car. Been travelling so long, how are we going to know home when we see it again?


day Twelve: Sun Kissed, Beach Chill
A day to relax, chill out and reflect on our journey.


Day Eleven: castagniccia hill villages
Today's theme WTF: "Are we really going UP there? " followed (a nerve racking hairpin decent later) by "did we really come down from there?"


Day Ten: Riding on top of the world
A dream ride along deserted roads in the high hills. A tough but wonderful 68km day from Corte to Aleria .


Day Nine: A Restonica Day
A rest day in Corte, with a little 20km morning jaunt along the Restonica Gorge/


Day Eight: The Devils' Road to Corte
Another phenomenal mornings ride down the devils' gorge and along lovely quiet roads into Corte. Good food, pleasant company and a much needed bike repair!

A 50 km ride from Galeria to Porto Oto along the iconic D81, climbing from sea level over the Col de Palmarella at 408m then dropping back down to the sea at Porto Ota.


Day Five: Calvi to Galeria
Along the famous D81b coast road from Calvi to Galeria. A pretty easy ride of about 38km. Then our first swim in the sea and an indulgently restful afternoon.
