Corsica Walking Vacation - Walk The Mediterranean Island

Corsica belongs to The French & one of the country's famed patriarchs was born on this Mediterranean island: Napoleon Bonaparte.

Being so near to Italy as Corsica is, you straight away get the feeling that it's not completely French, but somewhat more a potpourri of French/Italian culture, language, food & lifestyle.

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

Arriving to Corsica by ship strike me as the suitable way, and you can sail from Livorno and Genoa in Italy or from Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.

Approaching the historic port of Bastia, facing east towards Italy, the baroque architecture oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia indicates "fortified site" and that is what Bastia was centuries ago - a fortified site.

Yes you can choose to fly into Bastia Poretta airport - twenty km south from the town center. Flights arrive 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 almost all directions.

Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as already stated, from the midsection of the island, and if you would like to feel the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at an altitude of 650m, is the absolute place to do so. The locals gather for a game of petang & they still collect wild herbs for their home cooking. A number of walking Corsican holidays begin here, and the surroundings are astonishing! It is joined to Bastia by the.
