Corsica is the most mountainous Mediterranean island. On holidays in Corsica you’ll find clean beaches and well-preserved towns and villages with a French touch.Isolated beaches, heaths, forests, granite rocks, orange trees, maquis (the local scrub vegetation) and dense forest make for a bandit-style countryside. The attractive port of Bonifacio dominates the island’s south. It rises out of sheer cliffs that have been well marked by the wind and waves. Calvi and Bastia in the north provide good stay-put holiday resorts with easy excursions on hand. Central Corsica offers prehistoric sites and a seductive sparseness shot through with stupendous scenery and magnificent gorges.
