Today we set sail to Cacalu, also called Anse de Cacao, a small bay north of Capo di Muro (1h30 navigation). With its rich and beautiful marine landscape, this is an ideal place for a swim.
It's time to get on the bikes and ride towards Propriano (40 km), a coastal town surrounded by sandy beaches, turquoise waters which contrast dramatically with the green maquis scrub. the town is situated within one of the most typical regions of Corsica conducive to the discovery of gastronomy, culture, heritage and wine.

beach, guarded by the Lion of Roccapina (a rock resembling a lion).

the Mediterranean. The beaches are accessible only by

Bonifacio, from where you can ride your bike to discover
the beauty of the surroundings (55 km). We will spend the

Another fantastic day awaits as we set sail along the east coast to reach Porto-Vecchio. From here we will ride a
loop of about 25 km, so that you can visit the most famous coves and beaches of southern Corsica. We will then
return to Bonifacio where we will continue cycling to
the Gulf of Ventilegne (15 km). Arriving at Ventilegne,
we will hop back onto the boat to sail towards Tizzano,
an adorable little village which is nestled between the
rocks. The crystal-clear waters will be difficult to resist,
so enjoy a long refreshing swim.

museum. After a hot and sweaty but hugely satisfying ride,
might you be tempted by another refreshing swim?

We set sail once more for the Iles Sanguinaires (2h00 navigation). Historically, they are called the Sanguinairesn islands, not for their red colour at sunset, but because makeshift settlements welcomed coral fishermen nicknamed "sanguinari" (the people with black blood), returning from Africa and under quarantine. Characterized by their austere and hostile appearance, they are a classified maritime site, a haven for seabird species, a reserve for a rich flora of rare and endemic species. At the tip of the island, enjoy an incomparable view of the gulf of Ajaccio. The catamaran will take you to the peninsula of Isolella, with its subtle, wild and natural charm. From Isolella there is a great ride towards Ajaccio (35 km).

Dinner and night on board at the dock. Take a stroll at night around the quaint yet vibrant streets of Ajaccio, a
town that oozes the heat and culture of the south.
Riding : about 35 km

After a fabulous week of sailing, superb cycle rides, refreshing swims in azure waters, stunning views of the
Corsican coast, it is time to disembark at 9am, following a last breakfast. This is surely a trip to remember!
