Corsica Walking Holiday - Walk The Mediterranean Island

Corsica belongs to France & one of the country's great patriarchs took his first breath on this Mediterranean island: Napoleon Bonaparte.

Situated so near to Italy as Corsica is, you immediately get the feeling that it's not fully French, but rather a blend of French/Italian culture, language, food and lifestyle.

Most walking holidays will lead you from the mountains, in the center of the French island, down to Ajaccio by the coast.

Arriving to Corsica by boat strike me as the appropriate way, & you can begin a voyage from Livorno and Genoa in Italy or from Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.

Approaching the historic harbor of Bastia, facing east towards Italy, the baroque architecture oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia stands for "fortified site" and that is what Bastia started out as centuries ago - a fortified site.

Surely you can choose to fly into Bastia Poretta airport - 20 km south from the town center. Planes roll in from mainland France, Germany, England, Morocco, Sweden, Luxembourg & Italy.

Trains from Bastia can bring you to Ajaccio, Calvi or Ponte Leccia and you will find buses & coaches to take you in all directions.

Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as already said , from the middle of the Mediterranean, and if you would like to encounter the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at a height of 650m, is the perfect place to do so. The locals get together for a game of boule & they still gather wild herbs for their home cuisine. A number of walking Corsican holidays begin here, & the surroundings are beautiful! It is connected to Bastia by railroad.

The locals call Corsica 'Ile de Beaute' - the beautiful island. And nothing is more true! Corsica is still untouched by mass-tourism and provides a breathtakingly diverse scenery. You will find that the people in Corsica are committed to keep their completely unique culture alive.
