Top 11 things to do in Corsica

Mar 22, 2023 • 16 min read

Corsica is the ultimate destination for lovers of the outdoors © Gary Yeowell / Getty Images

Close your right fist, with your thumb over your fingers. Now point your index finger and you have an almost perfect representation of the island of Corsica – essentially a mountain range jutting out of the Mediterranean, whose highest peaks remain snow-capped well into the spring.

Its people are proud of their island: many consider themselves to be Corsican first and (reluctantly) French second, even though the island’s most famous son, Napoleon Bonaparte, became emperor of France! You’ll see graffiti – usually in Corsican, which is closer to Italian than it is to French – calling for independence in the most unexpected places. The Corsican flag (known locally as A bandera testa mora ) is everywhere: a black profile facing left with a white bandana knotted at the back. Why? Nobody is really sure and there are many legends, but the latest academic hypothesis is that the head belonged to Black Egyptian Christian martyr Saint Maurice d’Aguane, whose Latin name Mauritius led to confusion that this was the head of a Moor.

This stunning island has few museums, art galleries, cinemas or theaters. Instead, Corsica is a destination for those who love outdoor activities: hiking, swimming, sailing, kayaking, diving and great food at the end of it all.

Traditional Corsican food is more mountain than maritime. As chestnut trees and wild pigs abound, you’ll find both these ingredients in many a hearty Corsican dish such as wild boar stew or the different varieties of cold meats such as figatellu . You’ll also find chestnuts in many forms in Corsican deserts and pastries. Cheese runs the gamut from mild ( brocciu which is the basis for a variety of both savory and sweet dishes) to extremely strong ( casgiu merzu or rotten cheese). And you can wash it all down with one of the local wines, which are closer in taste to Italian wines than continental French ones.

Around every corner is another jaw-dropping landscape: a stone chapel perched atop a small hill with sheep-studded fields at its feet and snow-capped mountains behind, or a steep ravine of pink granite with a fast-running river at the bottom. Don’t forget to bring your camera.

1. Hike the GR20 (aka Fra li Monti)

This is the mythical 200km-long (124 miles) hiking route, mostly along mountain ridges, from Calenzana in the north to Conca in the south, that most French people associate with Corsica (along with the beaches of course).

Reputed as one of the toughest hikes in Europe, it will take an experienced hiker 16 days to complete with every night spent in a refuge. Of course, you don’t need to hike the whole length of it. You can just do a small segment in a day and get a taxi to pick you up or end (or start) your hike at Vizzavona where you can get a train. The northern section is the hardest as the path can be steep and rocky – in the south, the path is smoother and a bit flatter.

It's unwise to do this hike unless you are well prepared and it should not be attempted by any child under 12. You should only undertake it between June and the end of August. Earlier in the year you may find sections of the path blocked by snow and the refuges, although open, have no guardians. Later the streams you can drink from might be dry. Detailed information and instructions can be found on this dedicated website .

​ 2. Drive from Francardo to Porto

The narrow D84 road from Francardo to Porto is only 78.6km (48.8 miles) long but driving it non-stop would take two hours – "twisty" doesn’t even begin to describe it. But this road is so spectacular that you’ll make multiple stops, not only to admire the landscape of giant granite fingers, deep gorges, Alpine meadows and lakes but also because you’ll be competing for road space with Corsica’s wild black pigs, cows and other vehicles, particularly in the summer months.

Detour: The road climbs up past the village of Calacuccia and its eponymous lake – a hydroelectric reservoir – to the col de Vergio (Vergio pass) at 1467m (4812ft), where you’ll see an abandoned ski-lift, the only remains of the island’s biggest ski resort before it was shut in 2007. As you head down towards the sea through the pine forest of Aïtone, and before you reach the village of Évisa, you can stop and walk about 600m (1968ft) to some small waterfalls and natural pools that are safe to swim in.

​ 3. Explore the island by train

If the thought of driving along Corsica’s vertiginous roads or hiking the GR20 doesn’t appeal, then the train is the answer. The line heads north from Ajaccio to the central Corsican town of Ponte Leccia (2hrs 40mins), where it branches west to Calvi (1hr 50mins) or east to Bastia (1hr 45mins).

The train winds its way through the mountains giving you wonderful views of Corsica’s highest peak, the Monte Cinto (2706m/8878ft,), stone villages seemingly grown out of granite rocks, fields dotted with sheep and goats whose milk is turned into pungent Corsican cheeses, and across rivers and gorges, sometimes winding back on itself so you can look down and see the railway line below you.

Amusingly some of the stops are optional, so if you want to get off the train at any of these, push the button next to the train door. If you’re at the optional station and want to get on the train, wave at the train driver.

Planning tip: You can buy a €50 Pass Libertà which allows you to travel wherever and whenever you want for 7 consecutive days. Timetables and fares can be found on the official website (in French and Corsican only).

​ 4. Find Bastia’s historic heart

Bastia , Corsica’s economic capital, tends to get overlooked by tourists. And that’s a shame because it's a town designed for its 52,000 inhabitants rather than tourists and has plenty to keep you entertained for at least a day.

Terra Vecchia , the historic heart of the city, brackets the old port. Its landmark building is the church of Saint John the Baptist , the biggest in Corsica and built in the 1600s, although the facade and identical bell towers on either side were added in the 1860s. This part of town is small, so don’t hesitate to turn into the narrow streets to explore and wonder how some of the grey-and-beige crumbling buildings that crowd in on each other are still standing. Look for the small niches in the facades that hold a painted statue of a saint and question the safety of a tangle of electrical wires as you make your way past the vast church and onto the southern side, then up the beautiful imperial staircase known as the Falata à a Gabella into the Terra Nova (there’s also a lift about 150m/492ft beyond the staircase if you prefer).

Planning tip: There’s a bustling market – the locals call it u mercà –  just north of the old port on the Place de l’hôtel de ville. Open from 8am to 1pm every day except Monday, it gets particularly animated at the weekend with many Bastiais (residents of Bastia) meeting at the cafes after their shopping for a chat and a drink.

​ 5. Discover seven centuries of island history

​The upper part of the city of Bastia, or Terra Nova, with its straight streets and well-kept colored facades, clusters around the Genoese citadel or bastiglia which is where the town got its name. The Governors’ Palace, built in 1530, hosts the lovely city museum covering seven centuries of the city and the island’s history. There’s enough here to keep you busy for about two hours. On a clear day in the terraced gardens, you can see the Italian island of Elba 57km (35 miles) away where Napoleon spent his first exile, and the old port and the city spread out below you like a map.

Planning tip: If you’re in Bastia on the second or third Saturday of July, don’t miss the A Notte di a Memoria (the Night of Memory) , a historical reconstruction of the Middle Ages ceremony signaling a change of Genoese governor. It involves a lot of drums and flag throwing and some 200 or so Bastiais in period costume parading from the citadel down to the old port, so you can stand anywhere along the route and watch.

6. Don’t miss Les Calanques de Piana

These red-and-pink calanques (narrow, steep-sided granite valleys or inlets) are part of a Unesco World Heritage site on the west coast between Calvi and Ajaccio and are unmissable. The best approach is from Piana. As you drive carefully north along the narrow road winding its way through rocks and scrub bushes, the rocks will start getting bigger, fashioned into fantastic shapes that every person interprets in their own way: where one will see a lion, another will see a human or yet another a strange gargoyle. You’ll get tantalizing glimpses of the sea far below. In the summer the road gets quite busy, so don’t stop on a bend to admire the view.

Detour: There are a few car parks along the route, notably at La tête du chien (dog’s head) from which there is a 1.2km (0.7 miles) easy path to a rocky platform that provides a prodigious view of the calanques and the Gulf of Porto. There are four other hiking paths through the Calanques – ask the Piana tourist office for a map.

​7. Explore the ancient churches of Cargèse

This village, south of Porto, is home to one of Corsica’s most beautiful churches, which also happens to be the only Greek Orthodox church on the island. Saint Spyridon was built by the Greek descendants of the 600 who fled the Ottomans in the 17th century and settled in this coastal village.

The community originally built a small church but by the mid-19th century, they'd outgrown their original place of worship and began the construction of Saint Spyridon in a neo-gothic style. In accordance with Byzantine rite, the altar is hidden from the nave by a wooden partition (an iconostasis). This one is beautifully decorated with icons (some of which were brought by the first Greek inhabitants and date back to the 13th century) of saints and angels on a gold background. The church walls are covered with frescoes and the ceiling is painted dark blue dotted with gold stars – all illuminated by several large, multi-layered brass chandeliers.

What makes Cargèse remarkable is that just across a small gully from Saint Spyridon is the pale yellow facade of the neo-Baroque Roman Catholic church, the Assumption, built in the 1800s. The richly-decorated, colorful interior, recently restored, is also neo-Baroque.

From the photogenic shaded little square in front of this church, there are lovely views of the sea. Take the path that leads down to the port and enjoy lunch at one of the lovely restaurants that are crowded with locals even during the off-season.

​​ 8. Get to know Napoleon in Ajaccio

You cannot escape Napoleon Bonaparte in his birthplace. Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica because he decided it should be, switching it from Bastia in 1811. He’s everywhere, in street names and museums and watching mournfully over the pétanques players from atop his pedestal in the Place d’Austerlitz.

The Palais Fesch , so named as it exhibits the art collection of Cardinal Joseph Fesch, Napoleon’s maternal uncle, is the island’s major art museum. Fesch began his collection whilst accompanying his nephew on the two-week Italian campaign in 1796. By the time he died in 1839, he had accumulated more than 16,000 works of art. They’re not all on show but the permanent exhibition has some exceptional works by Renaissance artists such as Bellini, Botticelli, Titian and Veronese, as well as 17th-century artists Poussin and Van Dyck. 

Napoleon’s parents, Charles and Letizia Bonaparte, are buried in the imperial chapel in the right wing of the palace.

Detour: A five-minute walk from the art museum will take you to  Maison Bonaparte , where Napoleon was born on 15 August 1769 but only resided in until he was nine years old. The house has undergone multiple changes since then and only became a museum in 1967. Written explanations are only in French – use the audio guide for English descriptions.

9. View the clifftop beauty of Bonifacio from the sea

Bonifacio is not only the oldest town in Corsica (founded in about 830 CE), it's also the most spectacular. Perched atop 100m-high, layered white limestone and sandstone cliffs, it boasts phenomenal views south across to Sardinia (only 13km/8 miles away).

For first-time visitors the element of surprise is huge – when you arrive by road, all you can see of Bonifacio are enormous, imposing ramparts and fortifications on a hill to the west of a 1.5km sea inlet. The only way to view the imposing cliffs, and the town's tall houses tethered at the very edge of the escarpments, is from the sea – boat tours depart regularly from the port at the end of the inlet.

When you return from your maritime expedition, wind your way past the restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops that line the port and go up the Rastello ramp ending at the foot of the citadel . There you'll find the much-photographed, white, roofless Saint Roch chapel with its single bell cut out against the blue of the Mediterranean Sea, with Sardinia glistening on the horizon.

You can then turn into the old town through the labyrinth of tight, paved streets lined with ancient, narrow six- or seven-story buildings nestled against each other. Note the aqueducts above the streets connecting the houses and look out for the stone plaque on n°7 rue des Deux Empereurs detailing that Napoleon Bonaparte (of course, who else?!) lived there from 22 January to 3 March 1793 and that it belonged to his ancestors until May 1721.

If you don’t feel like walking from the port to the old town, you can join the families (it's free for under-fives) on the little tourist train.

Planning tip: In summer, Bonifacio gets extremely crowded – you should plan to get here before 10am or you won’t be able to park. Leave your car in one of the two car parks at the port (about €20/ day) or in one of the two (Monte Leone and Valli) on the outskirts of the town (about €5/day). A free shuttle operates to the port from the Monte Leone car park.

If you have a campervan, you can only park at the Monte Leone or Valli car parks and note that the latter is only open in summer. Don’t be tempted to try your luck with the car parks at the top – in summer the town’s population rises from just over 3000 to 15,000, so walking will be quicker! In any case, the old town is mostly pedestrianized. There is also a little road train that goes from the port to the old town, departing every 30 minutes from 9:30am to 9:45pm July to August, 5:45pm in September. Tickets are €5 return, free for children under five.

​​ 10. Create rock art on the black sand beach of Nonza

About a third of the way up the eastern coast of the Cap Corse lies the village of Nonza, planted on the edge of a sheer cliff on the northern side. There are dramatic views of the 150m (492ft) drop to the black beach below, one of the few in Corsica that is never crowded in the summer – probably because there are more than 500 steps to reach it! A few hardy souls make the descent to create patterns with the light grey pebbles on the black sand, which you can admire from the top.

There’s a delightful little village square where you can sit under the shade of the plane trees and unwind to the tinkling sound of a fountain, a cool drink in hand as you nibble some delicious Corsican charcuterie .

Planning tip: If you visit Nonza in the summer, it'll be almost impossible to park in the village – leave your car on either side of the village and walk.

11. Follow in the footsteps of the customs officers

If you’d like to hike but find the GR20 intimidating, then try the 25km-long (15.5 miles) Sentiers des Douaniers (customs officers’ path) that runs around the very tip of Corsica’s index finger (Cap Corse) from Macinaggio on the east coast to Centuri on the west. During this eight-hour hike (or you can break it up and do it over two days) you’ll go from sandy beaches and dunes on the eastern coast to the wilder, rockier landscapes of the western coast. Along the way, you’ll see marks of human habitation: old limestone ovens, windmills, and the ruins of 16th - century Genoese towers.

The section between Macinaggio and Barcaggio (a three-hour walk) tends to be more crowded than the section between Barcaggio and Centuri (five hours). From Macinaggio you’ll go across Tamarone beach and have a view of the dust-speck islands of Finocchiarola topped by a ruined Genoese tower. A bit further along you’ll see the picturesque ruin of a tower right on the beach, sometimes surrounded by the sea. When you reach Barcaggio, climb up the dunes for a fabulous view. On a clear day, you can see the coastline of Italy from up there! Come back down for a swim off the lovely beach – you may share the sand with some wild cows. The fully automated lighthouse on the island of Giraglia lies just off the coast – it's one of the most powerful in the Mediterranean.

You can either return to Macinaggio by boat or stay overnight in Barcaggio and carry on the next day to Centuri. This next section is wilder and windier as it's along the very northernmost tip of Corsica and some parts of the path are quite steep and rocky. Look out for the wide variety of seabirds and you may very well spot some dolphins swimming nearby. This part of the hike goes through a lot of maquis and can be a bit scratchy on your legs. Best to wear trousers rather than shorts.

The hike from Macinaggio to Barcaggio is shorter and easier, and many casual hikers generally find it more pleasant than the second section to Centuri, which is more suited to serious hikers.

Planning tip: This is not a particularly difficult hike, and it’s mostly clearly signposted, but you do need a decent level of fitness and there isn't much shade. Don’t attempt it in the height of summer or on very windy days, as there's a greater risk of fires. Spring is the optimum time when the maquis is in full flower and its colors and very particular perfume are at their best. Bonaparte used to say that he could recognize Corsica just by the smell of its maquis !

Visiting Corsica: top 10 travel tips

Don’t want to read the whole article, want to get to the point? Here are our top 10 tips for a successful trip to Corsica:

• Book your flights, ferries, cars and hotels well in advance, especially if you are going in summer. Many French people come to the island for the school vacations, the places fill up quickly and the prices go up.
• Consider the ferry if you want to bring your car and there are more than 2 of you traveling – see ferry availability
• Consider flying if you live far from the Mediterranean (to reduce travel time) – compare flight prices

• Respect the locals, their culture and nature!

Clarification before continuing

Corsica is an absolutely beautiful destination, from the sharp peaks to the turquoise waters and white sand. But make no mistake, it is not for everyone. It is for nature lovers, who accept the winding roads due to the mountains (and the crowds if you go in summer). Its charm is undeniable but very different from other French regions. If you are looking for museums, castles and cities full of architectural wonders, choose another destination (the Loire , for example).

Tips 1 to 4 – How to travel to Corsica

1. where is corsica in which country how to get there.

Corsica is a French island in the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between France and Italy. The island is located in the north of Sardinia and is geographically closer to Italy than to France. Here is a map of Europe to help you visualize its position. You can get there either by plane or by ferry. There is no bridge or tunnel to reach the island.

2. How to get to Corsica by plane? What flights?

The island has 4 international airports: Bastia, Ajaccio, Figari and Calvi. Bastia and Calvi serve the north of Corsica, Figari and Ajaccio rather the south. The most important airport is Ajaccio, followed by Bastia.

The local company is called Air Corsica, but the island is also served by Air France, Transavia, Easyjets and other companies. There are flights from many major European cities. But if you start your trip outside of Europe, you will necessarily have a stopover.

The duration of the flights are:

• from Paris = less than 2 hours
• from London = 2h30 (if direct)
• from Rome = 1h

Discover flight options on Skyscanner

And learn more in our article on how to get to Corsica .

3. Which ferry to Corsica

If you really want to come with your car, you can take a ferry from Italy or France (Nice or Marseille or Toulon).

• You can arrive in Ajaccio, Bastia, Propriano, Porto-Vecchio or Ile-Rousse
• Departures are from several ports in France and Italy
• The 3 departure ports in France are Nice (5 to 10 hours), Marseille (11 to 12 hours) or Toulon (5 to 10 hours)
• Le plus court trajet depuis la France est entre Nice et l’Ile Rousse (5h45)
• The shortest distance from Italy is between Piombino and Bastia (2h45)
• None of the 4 companies stood out as the “Best”. But the one with the most options is Corsica Ferries.

If you go during the high season, it is advisable to book your ferry ticket well in advance, to have availability and the best prices.

See ferry schedules and availability

And find out more in our article about the ferry crossing to Corsica .

4. Visa and identity papers for Corsica

Corsica is part of France, and is therefore in the Schengen area. If you are one of them, you don’t need a visa. Otherwise, you need a Schengen Visa.

For all of them, you must have a valid identity document to circulate on the territory, and also to take the plane or the ferry.

Note for the French: the validity of the identity card has been extended from 10 to 15 years. Therefore, cards that have been expired for less than 5 years are admissible.

OUR TIPS FOR RENTING A CAR IN Corsica

• Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
• Choose a car that is powerful enough (the roads are steep) but compact (some passages are narrow).
• Think of the complete insurance (some roads are tortuous and narrow).
• There is a lot of demand, book it early .

6. What is the size of Corsica?

Corsica is much larger than many people imagine. Maximum: 183km from North to South and 83km wide. It is the 4th most important island in the Mediterranean Sea.

But most importantly, it has high mountains. Its geography makes it much longer to get around the island. It takes 4 hours to drive from north to south on the main road (but much longer on the beautiful west coast) It takes at least 2 hours to cross from east to west.

Here is a map to help you visualize these movements:

7. How long to stay in Corsica

Of course, you can focus on one area and visit it in depth. Each region can deserve 3 weeks of vacation… But, if you want to see a bit of each region, here are our estimates for a road trip on the whole island. Please note that these times do not include full days spent on the beach:

• Bastia and the Cap Corse – 2 to 4 days
• Calvi and Balagne – 2 to 5 days
• Piana and the central west – 2 to 5 days
• Corte and Upper Corsica – 2 to 5 days
• Bonifacio and South Corsica – 3 to 5 days
• Ajaccio and the South-West – 3 to 5 days

8. How long to go around Corsica

Don’t try to do the whole tour of Corsica in a road trip if you have less than 2 weeks. Even with two weeks, diligence would be required to focus on only certain locations in each region to make it work. 3 weeks is much more comfortable.

9. Always allow more time than the GPS suggests

Your travel time will be extended for 2 main reasons:

With the mountains, the roads are limited (and not highways). Therefore, as soon as there are a few people, the traffic slows down. If you plan in February but leave in August, the travel times can be very different.

Then, the landscapes are magnificent, we want to stop everywhere, to make detours to see beaches, to walk a little further to see the view on the other side…

Don’t plan too much each day!

10. Dates to choose or to avoid

Depending on what you are looking for, there are some competitions and festivals to consider that may derail your plans. Either you want to include them in your trip or you want to avoid them so you don’t get stuck in the middle of your plans. For example:

• February: Italian film festival in Bastia
• Easter processions all over the island
• march/april: Ajaccio marathon
• June: Corsica-Raid in June – infos
• June: Jazz Festival in Ajaccio
• July: sometimes the Tour de France passes through Corsica! And it cuts the roads a lot!
• July: Calvi on the Rocks in July
• July 14 is the French national holiday
• August 15, public holiday in France and big party in Ajaccio for Napoleon Bonaparte’s birthday
• September: Polyphonic Song Meetings in the citadel of Calvi
• october: Tour de Corse historique, classic car rally – infos
• October: Porto-Vecchio marathon
• and also many days dedicated to Corsican specialties in different towns and villages

11. If you are going in the summer, adapt to the crowds

If you don’t have a choice of dates and you go in summer, understand that it is very crowded in Corsica at that time. The most famous beaches are taken by storm, the parking lots are full and the roads are clogged. You can still enjoy it but you have to know it and adapt your program: find less known places, get up earlier to enjoy the beaches before the crowds (and before the storms), schedule less places to see in your day.

Tips 12 to 14 – Holiday budget in Corsica – how to reduce prices

12. price and budget.

Corsica has a certain cost.

• Many products are more expensive on the island than in mainland France
• As demand is higher in summer, prices for car rentals, flights and hotels are higher.

Your budget will vary greatly depending on how you want to travel: sleeping in a campsite, sleeping in a rental or doing a road trip by changing hotels regularly… eating in a restaurant or making your own food… It is therefore very difficult to give an average budget…

Here are a few numbers to consider:

• In August: 2500 euros for 2 people, for a week with a flight from Paris and accommodation in a 2/3 star hotel
• In low season: 1700 to 2000 euros for 2 people, for a week with a flight from Paris and accommodation in a 2/3 star hotel

13. Reduce the biggest expenses: compare and book in advance

The largest items in the budget are:

• Transportation to Corsica
• Travel once in Corsica (if you don’t have your own car)

In any case, the best ways to reduce costs are to compare prices on comparison sites and to book well in advance (6 to 9 months). Our favorite comparators are:

• Car rental: compare prices on Discovercars (they often have great deals!)
• Plane: compare prices on Skyscanner
• Compare Directferries prices
• Hotels: compare accommodations on Booking

14. Choose free activities

The advantage of Corsica is that you can get busy for free in :

• Choosing beaches (where parking is not charged)
• Visiting villages

The landscapes are so beautiful that there is no need to plan more if you don’t have the budget. If you have some, we suggest you choose from the following activities:

• Boat trip around Bonifacio
• Boat to the Lavezzi Islands
• Boat to the calanques of Piana and the Scandola reserve – see
• Boat to the Bloody Islands – see
• Desert of Agriates in 4×4 – see

Tips 15 to 17 – How to travel around Corsica

15. how to get around the island.

Corsica by car It remains the most practical option for exploring Corsica. If you want to discover small corners of paradise, you will need a vehicle, because public transport goes mostly in the cities and villages. You can come with your own car by ferry or rent one on the spot (see next tip).

Corsica by motorcycle Corsica is a paradise for bikers with roads that make them dream, winding and with great landscapes.

Corsica by motorhome The motorhome is not the most recommended option for Corsica, unless you arrive by ferry directly to your destination and land your vehicle. Many roads are winding and narrow. Some places are feasible but you need to know your vehicle well and do a lot of research before the trip.

Corsica by train and bus Some cities are connected by trains and buses. If you have time to adapt to their schedules, the network allows you to discover several cities of the island: Ajaccio, Corte, Bastia, Calvi, Ile-Rousse…

Excursions from a main city Another option is to land in one of the big cities and take organized tours to explore the area. Ajaccio is the city with the most options See the tours

16. How to rent a car in Corsica

You will find all international brands at the major airports and ferry terminals. Our main tips are:

• Choose a car that is not too big so that you are more comfortable in the narrower sections of the roads
• Choose a car with a good engine to drive more comfortably in the mountains
• Book early if you want an automatic car (there are few in France)
• You don’t really need a 4×4, especially since most companies won’t allow you to drive off-road even with a 4×4 for insurance reasons
• Compare prices on Discovercars.com – our preferred platform. It is one of the best rated sites by its customers!
• Book early to have a choice of your vehicle!

17. Don’t be afraid to drive

Many people are afraid to drive in Corsica, so let’s be clear:

Yes, the roads are winding and they are sometimes narrow. This is not the easiest region to drive in, when the mountains plunge into the sea! But Only people who have had problems write on the Internet. The millions of people who have not had any problems, do not take the time to go on the forums and say that everything went well in terms of driving… Most of the roads are not really difficult. There are just a few places where they are narrow. In this case, slow down well and take your time.

• the customs path at the level of the Cap Corse
• the Restonica valley surrounded by mountainous peaks, towards the Lake of Melo and the Lake of Capitello

Corsica is a beautiful island. It is famous for its beaches, its mountains, its villages… it has a lot to offer and a great variety of points of interest. You may want to stop at viewpoints, take back roads to explore hidden areas, or simply stay longer in a village or on a beach because it is spectacular. So be sure to be reasonable in your planning!

See our itinerary suggestions:

• 3 days in Corsica
• 4 or 5 days in Corsica
• coming soon: 1 week, 10 days and 15 days

24 to 28 – Where to stay in Corsica

24. one or more units.

Unlike other Mediterranean islands such as Mallorca, it is not possible to explore the entire island based on a single location.

Either you choose a single accommodation and explore a single region. Each region has a lot to offer. Either you go on a road trip. Or you can do a mix of both.

For example with 2 weeks you could:

• you 5 days in South Corsica
• go up the west coast with 2 nights in Ajaccio and 2 nights in Piana
• then 5 days in the North, in Saint-Florent for example

It all depends on what you are looking for during your vacation.

25. Is it necessary to stay in Ajaccio?

Ajaccio is the main city of Corsica. It has many assets:

• choice of restaurants
• access to islands
• beautiful beaches less than 30 minutes away
• waterfalls and mountains less than 1 hour away
• plenty of organized tours

But it’s not really a must-see city. The city does not have an architectural marvel that is a must-see. And not all of the most famous places in Corsica can be visited on an excursion from this city. If you prefer nature to cities, we advise you not to stay in Ajaccio.

But if you want to discover more about Napoleon, Corsican art or Corsican gastronomy, plan at least one stop in Ajaccio.

26. Where to stay in Corsica?

Our favorite places to stay were:

• The citadel of Bonifacio: the place is exceptional and the cliffs change color with the setting sun! – see the options
• L’Île-Rousse: the rocks of the islands turn red-orange at sunset – see options
• Saint-Florent (or Patrimonio, next door, in the heart of the vineyards): easy access to various landscapes and attractions – see options

27. Choosing your home wisely: what to look out for

The accommodation offer on the island of Corsica is really impressive. You can find every type of accommodation imaginable. When making your choice, don’t forget to check the following aspects:

• Book early, especially for a trip to Corsica in summer. Do your research
• Parking – if you are staying in a city, the parking lots may be paid for. This should be taken into consideration in your budget or you should choose an accommodation with parking
• In France, air conditioning is not systematic, far from it. But it can be very hot in Corsica. If it is essential for you, check the conditions before booking
• Accommodations near the beach are rarely on the beach. There are only a few and they are not the best. The best accommodations are often within 5 minutes walk of the beach.
• The pools are not always heated, depending on the hotel.

28. Use a VPN

Do not make the same mistake we made.

On one of our last trips to Europe, a hacker stole our credit card details while we were using a hotel WiFi. So our trip began with a “card blocked” call … Not funny at all! Learn from our mistake, make a small VPN investment to surf without worry .

Tips 29 to 32 – What to bring: packing for Corsica

29. what to wear in corsica.

Classic clothes. There is nothing special to think about. It also depends on your activities And don’t forget:

• Clothing for rain and for colder nights in the evening and in the mountains
• Hiking shoes

30. Protect yourself from the sun

Beware, the sun can be brutal. Don’t take any chances, protect yourself with sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.

31. Carrying cash

Most places accept credit cards on the island. However, there are a few instances where you will need cash:

• Some places to visit (both on and off the beaten track)
• To pay for certain parking areas

32. Power strip and adapter

We travel with more and more electronic devices. Being able to recharge them is essential. In France, and therefore in Corsica, the plugs are 2 round holes (Type E which also work with a type C). If it doesn’t match yours, consider bringing a plug adapter. And we advise you to travel with a power strip because there is not always enough for the whole family, or the plugs are not well placed.

Tips 33 to 37 – Corsica travel tips: good to know for an unforgettable experience

33. be respectful of people and the environment.

The Corsicans have a strong character. And we love them for it. Remember that you are guests on this island. Be respectful towards Corsicans and their culture. Take the time to talk. The Corsicans are very welcoming. Also be sure to preserve the beautiful nature of this island. “Take only memories, Leave only footprints” – Chief Seattle.

34. Learn some words in the Corsican language

Knowing a few words in the local language is always appreciated. The official language is French but Corsicans are very proud of their local language and many people still speak it.

French – Corsica :

• Hello = Salute
• Goodbye = Avvedeci
• Please = Per piace
• Thanks to you = To ringraziavvi
• Excuse me = Scusatemi

35. Food – what to eat in Corsica

Visiting Corsica also means tasting its culinary specialties. Here are some products and recipes of Corsica not to be missed:

• the delicatessen: salty and tasty, it is strong in taste and will not leave you indifferent. Coppa, lonzu, figatellu, prisuttu, wild boar sausage… the choice is endless!
• cheese: they also have a lot of taste. The local cheeses are mainly made from goat or sheep milk. Bruccio is one of the most famous.
• mussels and oysters from the Diana pond
• the wines of Corsica with a particular soil made of sun and mountains
• canistrellis, dry cookies for those who are looking for something sweet
• the Corsican chestnut, used in many recipes including the Pietra, a beer flavored with chestnut.

36. Listen to Corsican singers

Polyphonies: an experience not to be missed in Corsica. These are singing experiences where only the voices come together to produce music. In Corsica, the typical groups are only male voices. They sing in perfect harmony, mainly in Corsican language. They are very powerful and carry deep emotions. Even when you don’t understand the words, you feel the song. There are regular performances almost everywhere, often in churches. Just look for small signs attached along the roads. For example, we had the chance to listen to I Campagnoli in a small church in Bonifacio!

37. What are the best activities to do in Corsica

In addition to beaches and hiking, Corsica is a beautiful destination for:

• canyoning with more than 100 sites, but about ten are the most famous – see options

• The heat, especially if you hike on paths without shade
