The first day of the trek follows the Sentier Douanier. This is the old customs officer path at the Northern tip of the island. It is deservedly popular, being studded with Genoese watchtowers and rising up and down between bays. It has a different character to the rest of the coast and can be quite windy, sticking out as it does into the Mediterranean Sea. The trail is good and well marked, as one would expect from such a popular path.

The tourist fishing village of Barcaggio marks the half way point, after which the path enters wilder terrain, finishing at the very pleasant fishing village of Centuri.
