Corsica is almost the perfect holiday destination, basking in the mediterranean sunshine off the south of France. With hundreds of perfect beaches, magnificent scenery (both on the coast and inland in the mountains), lovely towns and villages that simply belong in the surrounding landscape, and of course the climate all coming together to create a perfect destination.
The hundreds of beaches and 1,000 kilometre of coastline of Corsica form the basis of many holidays on the island, with swimming, snorkelling, wind-surfing, scuba diving and sunbathing being the most popular activities. But try to spend some time exploring the other highlights!
The Corsican towns are very attractive (and very popular with visitors), as are walks in the mountains, and other outdoor activities based around both the mountains and the coast. Walks are available for all levels of ability, from a pleasant stroll to some of the most difficult mountain walks in Europe.
Corsica enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with summers being hot and dry, and remaining mild even in winter, at least at coastal level. The mountains are of course a little cooler all year round.
The Natural Regional Park of Corse has been set-up to protect part of the rare and unusual habitats found on the island. The park includes some of the highest mountain peaks on the island, and a great deal of natural beauty. The Scandola Nature Reserve (the western part of the Natural park) is also stunning, accessible by boat trip from towns on the west coast.
