Lozari – Start of the road trip! Before hitting the road, remember to fill up your gas tank and pack a picnic if you want to enjoy lunch in the great outdoors.
Lumio – A stunning hilltop village overlooking the Bay of Calvi. Its picturesque streets lead to lovely viewpoints, perfect for taking souvenir photos. You'll also find local crafts to discover.
Calvi – A must-see stop to visit the Genoese citadel and its ramparts steeped in history. Afterwards, enjoy a stroll along the lively port and perhaps a coffee break or some artisanal ice cream overlooking the sea.
Galéria – The coastal road (D81B) between Calvi and Galéria is truly spectacular: plunging cliffs, panoramic views of the Mediterranean, and winding bends that make you want to stop at every viewpoint.
Swimming in the Fangu river – Stop at the Fangu bridge (ponte vecchiu). Clear and fresh waters, ideal for a natural bath in an exceptional setting classified as a biosphere reserve.
