The Balagne – from Saint-Florent to Porto
3h – 135kms
Departure from Saint-Florent along the west coast on the T30. The micro-region of La Balagne will take you on a journey through the Agriates desert, passing by Ile Rousse and Calvi, as well as the sumptuous Scandola Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
GOOD TIPS: Plan 2-3 days to not miss anything. In high season the Balagne is very popular with tourists, if you want at all costs to avoid them, ride and do not stop:) however it would be a shame to miss the charm and the authenticity of L’île Rousse and Calvi.
DO NOT MISS:The beaches of Sallecia and Lotu accessible on foot, 4×4 or boat from Saint Florent (do not try to reach it by the track with your minivan ), beach of Ostriconi, park at the Ostriconi beach Carpark, Beach of Ile Rousse, Ghost village of Occi, The citadel of Calvi, Girolata, Porto
For party guys, the event in late June or early July “Calvi on the Rock” on the Calvi Beach. ( plan a 4-5 day road trip to recover )
