Corsica Walking Holiday - Walk The Mediterranean Island

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

Being just so near to Italy as Corsica is, you straight away become aware that it's not all French, but rather a potpourri of French/Italian culture, language, food & lifestyle.

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

Reaching Corsica by boat strike me as the proper way, & you can sail from Livorno & Genoa in Italy or from Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.

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

Yes you can choose to fly into Bastia Poretta airport - twenty km south from the town center. Planes arrive from mainland France, Germany, United Kingdom, Morocco, Sweden, Luxembourg & Italy.

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

Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as already said , from the heart of the retreat, and should you care to encounter the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at an altitude of 650m, is the exact place to do so. The locals get together for a game of boule & they still pick wild herbs for their home cuisine. A number of walking Corsican tours begin here, and the setting is beautiful! It is connected to Bastia by railroad.

The native born Corsicans call Corsica 'Ile de Beaute' - the beautiful island. And nothing is more true! Corsica is still untouched by mass-tourism & provides a breathtakingly diverse landscape. You will observe that the people in Corsica are committed to keep their specific culture in existence.
