October 21, 2025, Coastal Trail Near Capo Ferrato

(We asked three locals from the next village and they said crossing the military zone is no issue)

October 2025: great path, 8km gravel, 95% can be done actually riding a gravel-bike with luggage (sporty attitude). It never gets "really bad" though, since there is no big difference in height. Military sector could be crossed without hassle, just many signs to not leave the road, no road blocks, no checks. Some persons that saw us did not complain.

I interpreted the signs regarding the military zone as meaning that the paths must not be left

The signs for the military area: I understood that you are not allowed to leave the trail, but be on the trail itself is fine. Heard that from others, so not guaranteed by me. But for us it went perfectly fine. Trail is too good not to take.
