Corsica has managed to retain its unique identity, not quite French nor Italian, but Corsican. This fact is evident in its music, its way of life, its renown wines and rich gastronomy.

Although Corsica is a small island, it boasts an amazing geographical diversity and offers plenty to do and see to justify several trips, or at least one long visit.

Six Reasons to Visit Corsica

• No other island in the Mediterranean is as green as Corsica. Corsica will captivate you with olive groves, vineyards, pine forests, its aromatic, ever present maquis, and chestnut trees. The Natural Regional Park of Corsica covers more than 1/3 of the island.
• Crystal clear waters, beaches with fine sand, deserted coves. Below the water you may find sea anemones, sea urchins and red coral.
• If you love the mountains, Corsica is the most mountainous island in the entire Mediterranean, with more than one hundred summits measuring more than 2000 meters. Because the island is so small, in Corsica you can enjoy the mountains in the morning and the beach in the afternoon.
• Corsica is a paradise for outdoor sports including hiking, backpacking, kayaking (on the ocean and inland) and rock climbing.
• Exquisite and wholesome food prepared with ingredients produced on the island, from aromatic honeys to fine wines.
• Corsica has a rich culture embedded in tradition, monuments, arts, crafts and music that moves the heart and soul.
