When you visit Corsica, you will immediately understand why it is known as the ‘Isle of Beauty’. With rocky coastlines, green mountains and pristine beaches, Corsica’s natural beauty is, quite simply, breathtaking. However, the island also abounds in human treasures and a vibrant local culture: mouth-watering cuisine and picturesque mountainside villages will leave no traveller disappointed. Discover how Corsica uniquely combines the peaceful Mediterranean lifestyle with untouched natural resources. Immerse yourself in sophistication among the yachts and rows of palm trees at a high-end beach resort in Calvi or Ajaccio. Then travel just a few kilometers away to find yourself in the middle of an unspoiled landscape, on an isolated beach or on a narrow mountain trail. Corsica also has a rich and varied historical heritage with its high mountain villages, fortified ports and Genoese towers that line the coast. Whether you are looking for a camping adventure, orhiking in the great outdoors (the GR20 immediately springs to mind!), water sports, or just a lazy day on the beach, Corsica has it all.

We arrived in Calvi Sunday evening and found a great place for dinner at the marina. Our hotel was very nice and the location was excellent. We did a boat ride to the Scandola nature reserve one day. It was OK, but I wish we'd taken a smaller boat that could go in and out of the caves. One day we drove up to Notre Dame. The views were gorgeous. On Wednesday morning we drove to Bonifacio. Our friends went diving that afternoon while we enjoyed the beach. Thursday we chose to relax on the beach again and then visited the Citadelle/old town. We really enjoyed that. The hotel in Bonifacio was beautiful.
Bonifacio was one of the main highlights of this trip because of its citadel and history. The museum in Bastia was excellent as the first stop because it provided the explanations and setting for the rest of the trip. The national parks and forests also were highlights with some areas reminding us of our own national parks in North America. The animals were also delightful because they seemed to want to communicate with us whenever we stopped and let them have the 'right of way'.
