Corsica is an island in the south-eastern Mediterranean coast of France. Nicknamed the ‘Isle of Beauty’, it’s an excellent resort destination thanks to its pristine bays and beaches, as well as lush forests and cliffs. Naturally, active travellers can enjoy outdoor fun such as snorkelling, hiking, boating and horseback riding during their holiday.

The towns of Corsica have a distinctive Italian culture – locals preserve their unique history through cultural celebrations, historic sites, music and arts. There’s a lot to experience in Corsica, whether you’re holidaying in the large cities – Bastia and Bonifacio – or getting away from it all at the island’s remote villages like Vizzavona and Algajola.
