Corsica's natural beauty is its biggest attraction. The island's rugged coastline, rolling hills, and lush green forests provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and swimming. The island is also home to some of Europe's most beautiful beaches, including Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, which are known for their soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. The Calanques de Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its nearby Scandola Nature Reserve, is another stunning natural wonder, famous for its towering cliffs and deep turquoise waters. Corsica represents an excellent choice for a family beach holiday.
Corsica is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with a wide range of activities not to be missed. Hiking is one of the most popular activities on the island, with over 1200 km of marked trails that crisscross the island. The GR20, a challenging 180 km trail that runs from the north to the south of the island, is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Europe. Corsica is also a popular destination for water sports, such as windsurfing, kiteboarding, and diving. The island's rugged coastline is dotted with secluded coves and bays that are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and boat trips.
Corsica's rich history is visible in its ancient towns and cities, traditional villages, and historic landmarks. The island was ruled by the Genoese, the Pisans, and the French, and their influence can still be seen in the architecture and culture of Corsica today. Some of the must-visit historic sites include the Genoese citadels of Calvi and Bonifacio, the medieval village of Piana, and the Roman ruins of Mariana. The ancient megalithic site of Filitosa, which dates back to the Bronze Age, is also a fascinating historic site to explore.
Corsica's unique culture is shaped by its history, geography, and the traditions of its people. The Corsican language, which is closely related to Italian, is still spoken by many locals, and traditional music is a popular form of entertainment. The island's small villages and towns, such as Corte and Sartène, are known for their narrow streets, ancient buildings, and lively markets. Corsicans are proud of their heritage and traditions, and visitors can learn about the island's customs and way of life by attending festivals, such as the Fiera di u Vinu in Patrimonio, which celebrates the island's wine culture.
Corsica's cuisine is a blend of French and Italian influences, with a focus on local and seasonal ingredients. The island is famous for its cured meats, such as lonzu and coppa, which are often served with fresh bread and cheese. The island's most famous cheese is brocciu, a soft cheese made from sheep's milk that is used in many traditional Corsican dishes. Seafood is also a staple of the Corsican diet, and the island's waters are home to a variety of fish, including sea bream, sea bass, and tuna. Don't forget to try the local wines, such as the red wine Patrimonio and the white wine Ajaccio, which are produced using grapes grown in the island's vineyards.
