Travel - The Island of Corsica
The Isle of Beauty, that is how Corsica is called.
Corsica island is located southeast of France in the Mediterranee. it is the main tourist destination for the french. Unfortunately, I have met very few american knowing about this georgeous french island. You have to go. It is really, really worth it.
The natural park cover a third of the island, and if you like nature, hiking, swimming, if you enjoy the sea, the mountains, the lakes, the forests, well you will love Corsica. it has it all. The GR20 is the well-known hiking trail that crosses Corsica from north to south. but they are tons of hiking trails, which are a dream and also some impressive volcanic lakes that are just georgeous.
Corsica is not just for hikers, it is also for lovers of history. It has many historical sites like the prehistoric site of Filitosa , now a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its Menhirs which is a great day destination. It has full of monuments, churches, citadells. Napoleon was born in Corsica after all and you can visit his house in Ajaccio.
Corsica is also unique for its food, traditions, festivals which make it a country by itself. You will love its markets, its delightful villages. Sunsets in Corsica are georgeous, I have never seen anything more beautiful, especially in Porto on the west cost. And the sea, oh, so beautiful. crystal clear water, it is a dream. a postcard.
It is very easy to ge to Corsica: a little bit over 1 hour flight from Paris, a night long cruise from the south of France or even from Italy. No excuse not to go there during your next vactions in France or italy. Even for 2 or 3 days, just go, you won't regret.
