Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

During this guided tour via air-conditioned motorcoach, you'll enjoy a narrated drive from Ajaccio along the coast past summer resorts to the San Bastiano Pass, where you'll be met with spectacular vistas of the Gulfs of Ajaccio, Lava and Sagone. Visit the village of Cargèse, where residents are deeply rooted to the Greek community that once settled here. Marvel at the majesty of the Calanche - dramatic, weather-carved, red and orange granite rock formations that plunge nearly 1,000 feet to the sea. Learn about the legend (involving the Devil and a shepherdess) that explains how this UNESCO World Heritage Site was formed. Enjoy free time in the nearby village of Piana - perched on the Calanche - to shop, explore or marvel at the sublime views across the bay.
