Rugged Beauty & Stylish Beaches on France's Mediterranean Isle
"L'Île de Beauté," it has been called. The Isle of Beauty. Still undiscovered by many foreign travelers, Corsica’s northern coast is dizzying. Rugged beaches give way to dense forests scented by wildflowers and herbs. Ascend further and you're looking from tiny alpine hamlets into the plunging valleys below. The dramatic mix of sea and summits more than earns Corsica its name.
Highlights
- Intersperse epic hikes through varied terrain with visits to Calvi and L'Île-Rousse, two of the island’s most vibrant coastal towns
- Behold every angle of Corsica’s remote abundance and learn about its astounding diversity of flora and fauna
- Gaze at historic architecture and savor the region’s hardy gastronomy—both are a perfect blend of French and Italian influences
- Retreat to intimate and tasteful seaside resorts boasting private beaches, colorfully decorated infinity pools and luxurious spa treatments

End Calvi, Corsica
