Cap Corse
The island's northern finger — Genoese towers and the marine villages.
— Journey —
3 h 15 from Ajaccio
Cap Corse is the long northern peninsula that points toward Genoa — a succession of marine villages, perched hamlets, vineyards and Genoese watchtowers along one of the Mediterranean's most cinematic coastal roads. FFGR Corsica chauffeurs the full corniche loop from Bastia: Erbalunga's painted harbour, the Moulin Mattei viewpoint at the cape's tip, Centuri's tiny lobster port, and the muscat vineyards of Rogliano. We arrange tastings at Clos Nicrosi, lunches of the day's langoustine at Centuri, and walks to the abandoned hamlets of the high cape. The drive demands a full day, and rewards it with the wildest, most romantic landscapes in Corsica.
