Tips from the Community
A popular meeting place for road cyclists and mountain bikers. Here, you can fill your water bottle with genuine Zilia water—slightly chilled, too. Last year, I spoke to a local about the water quality of the fountain. He said it had been tested and was of drinking quality. This was a welcome stop on my leg of the route from Calvi to San Antonino. Further up in the town of Zilia, there's a very small corner shop with a small but very good selection of fruit.

I can only confirm... beautiful Balagne mountain village with a wonderful view of the bay of Calvi. The back road described by "DerImmel" is just fun to cycle back to Calvi. There was hardly any traffic up here (end of May). I would also prefer this road to the airport shuttle.

From Galeria you should definitely make a detour to the Fango Valley to swim in one of the pools of the Fango River. It was wonderful... and according to a tour guide the water was 18 degrees. The best thing to do is to cycle to the old Genoese bridge in the Fango Valley. That's about 10 km from Galeria.
