This experience, in a nutshell
First day: San Vincenzo -> Macinaggio
Boarding is scheduled at 17:00 at the port of San Vincenzo . We get the galley, we prepare for the trip with a first briefing on the program and we will get to know all the crew. If the weather conditions allow it, we will leave immediately towards Corsica so as to enjoy a quiet navigation at night until we arrive in Macinaggio, a small village born on the shores of the sea, where we will spend the first night moored in the port to leave after a rich breakfast, towards Ile Rousse.
Second day: Ile Rousse
After sailing on the crystalline waters of the gulfs of the north coast, we will arrive at Ile Rousse , a fabulous promontory of red porphyry lying on the sea, the red pearl of the Balagne. The history of this island is closely linked to that of Calvi . The city, which has come down to the present day, has a very long history of wars and dominions since the 3/4 century. Born from the will of Pasquale Paoli , the father of the Corsican nation in the eighteenth century, to oppose the city of Calvi and the Genoese dominion in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Having become the main commercial port, it was called the " Paolina city ". The streets around the covered market are the real lung of the city, a neighborhood made up of small lively and colorful alleys, where you can take a walk, visit the many shops to discover all the local regional products.
Third day: Calvi
A fundamental stop on this trip will be Calvi , a city built on the San Francesco point between the gulf of Revellata and the gulf of the same name. For a long time this city was divided into two districts: the Upper city with the Citadel , and the Lower city with the Marina . The Citadel is the true historical center of the city, built in 1600 by the Genoese. We will go ashore to enjoy the narrow alleys with houses still inhabited, stone floors and blue and blue windows that characterize this reality rich in history and legends, a reality that bears the sign of time and the sea air that contribute to making this almost magical and timeless place.
Fourth day: Lozari, Desert des Agriates and Golfo di Ostriconi
Today we visit the pristine beaches of Lozari, up to the Gulf of Ostriconi and the Desert des Agriates . This paradise of very fine sand with a Caribbean appearance is the result of the "hard work" of the streams coming from the inland mountains of Corsica . They reach an altitude of 2710 meters with Mount Cinto , the roof of the island. The landing point in front of the Agriates desert is this splendid white sand beach called Ostriconi.
Fifth day: Saleccia and San Florant
Today we visit the unspoiled beach of Saleccia, an expanse of white sand and turquoise waters where we can spend the day in the harbor. The sailing continues to Saint Florant , a small but beautiful town, with restaurants hidden in the coves to the north. Here it is worth paying a visit ashore and then deciding whether to stop at the port to have dinner in one of the Corsican restaurants, or dine on board and then go down with the tender and enjoy the evening ashore.
Sixth day: Centuri
We are in Centuri , a charming little fishing port. Here the sunsets have magical sceneries. In this small harbor-casket, full of small characteristic restaurants, you can taste the best lobsters in the world. It is also worth going ashore to taste the typical Pietra chestnut beer. Stopping in Centuri is possible with good weather conditions, which generally assist us. We are looking for a sheltered place to be able to enjoy yet another night under the stars ... before the last sail to Capraia for the return to Italy.
Seventh day: Capraia
In the morning we will head towards Italy. Along the way we will aim the bow towards our last destination of this fabulous holiday, Capraia . We will take the opportunity to take a dip in Cala Rossa, a fantastic spot on the island where you can enjoy the spectacle of the scarlet red rock wall and immerse yourself in the crystalline waters of the sea. In the afternoon we will moor in the port and we will be able to go ashore to experience all that this splendid Tuscan island has to give. The wild beauty of the island is made even more vivid by the red color of the volcanic rocks, which are thrown into the sea. We will spend the night on board and get ready to celebrate the last night of this unforgettable holiday!
Eighth day: San Vincenzo
After having breakfast and saying goodbye to Capraia , we will set sail for the last sailing to return to San Vincenzo. Disembarkation is expected in the early afternoon, in the same port of embarkation of departure.
