The Sea

Crystal clear waters, vast beaches of powder sand, small isolated coves and wild cliffs populated with ospreys: Corsica offers a range of marine landscapes that are unique to the Mediterranean. With over one thousand kilometres of coastline, the island is a succes- sion of fabulous places to swim, fish, dive or simply walk. Even at the height of summer it is not difficult to find a quiet little cove where you will feel like Robinson Crusoe. You are sure to be surprised by the temperature of the waters. Even in October swimming in the sea is still common where the water can be up to 20°C!

Mountain: The Beating Heart of Corsica

If you like mountains, you will love Corsica. It is the most mountainous island in the Mediterranean with more than 100 peaks over 2000 metres high. Everywhere you look you will see magnificent landscapes in a protected setting. The mountains make up the heart of Corsica and provide the setting for island traditions and even the very identity of the islanders themselves. With its thermal springs, spectacular waterfalls, natural pools, rivers full of fish, mountain lakes, Corsica is a veritable water tower where you will enjoy taking time to recharge your batteries.

An Island Mark of Culture

Corsica's uniqueness – quite apart from the fact that it is an island that is unique to the Mediterranean - also stems from its heritage. Everywhere you go, you will see a Chapel, a bridge, a tower, or something of interest to explore. With a rich heritage of monuments, Corsica is also a wealth of culture, craft and living traditions among which gastronomy plays a significant part. Corsica is also an island where people know how to party. Each village, and there are more than 300, celebrates its patron saint each year.
