Continue your journey north along the coast. Enjoy the scenic views over the Mediterranean Sea and a refreshing swim in one of the many wild coves in the area. You spend the night in Macinaggio and its charming marina.

Day 4 |
|
|

Your day begins with an ascent from the port of Macinaggio to the mill of Mattei. On your way, do not miss a stop at the Rogliano point of view from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the tip of Cap Corse and the island of Giraglia.
Then, you continue on the west coast of Cap Corse, much more hilly and winding than the east coast. Here the landscapes are wilder, the steep cliffs fall into the water offering a breathtaking scenery! We recommend a small detour to Centuri, a charming little fishing port famous for its lobsters and very popular with celebrities in summer. Your day ends in Canari, a pretty little hilltop village.

Then, the landscapes begin to change and give way to limestone mountains and vineyards. You end your day at Saint-Florent, a charming little harbor surrounded by the mountains of Cap Corse and nicknamed "the Corsican Saint-Tropez". Enjoy your evening to stroll in the lively streets of the citadel.
