Whether you choose the North or the South, you won't be disappointed! If you choose one of the two parts of the island, your heart will be set on just one thing: coming back to explore the seaside of the second!
One of the advantages of Corsica is that it measures just 180 km from north to south and is 82 km wide. This means that, if you're not afraid of the road, you can visit the length and breadth of the island, from the land to the sea. Bear in mind, however, that the roads are rather... mountainous.
Northern Corsica, or Haute-Corse, is the most unspoilt, the most authentic part. This hilly region is nicknamed the Garden of Corsica and stretches between the coastline and the mountains. It offers sumptuous natural landscapes between seaside and forests, mountains and lakes, notably the famous Désert des Agriates or the legendary Sentier des Douanes du Cap Corse.
The south is the most famous part of the island, where you can marvel at the purity of the beaches with their heavenly white sands and transparent turquoise waters. Just saying the names is enough to make you dream: Palombaggia beach, Santa Giulia or Roccapina. The mineral cliffs of Bonifacio, overlooking the azure Mediterranean, are the best starting point for discovering the Lavezzi archipelago and the sea caves along the coast.
For those who love walking or simply the mountains, head inland for the famous GR20, reputed to be the most challenging hiking trail in Europe!
