L’Île de Beauté, it has been called. The Isle of Beauty. Still undiscovered by many foreign travelers, explore Corsica, where a dramatic mix of sea and summits more than earns the island its name.
Highlights
- Hike the dramatic trails of Cap Corse and Balagne, where coastal ridgelines lead to serene mountain passages and sweeping Mediterranean views
- Wander through ancient stone villages steeped in Corsican culture and centuries-old tradition
- Savor the region’s hearty gastronomy—a perfect blend of French and Italian influences
- Retreat to intimate resorts boasting tasteful décor, colorfully decorated infinity pools and far-reaching vistas
- Take in untouched beauty as you trace rugged limestone bluffs and swim in sun-warmed waters
