Corsica Adventure - Walk The Mediterranean Island
Corsica belongs to France & one of the country's grand patriarchs was born on this Mediterranean island: Napoleon Bonaparte.
Being so near to Italy as Corsica is, you straight away become aware that it's not all French, but rather a blend 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.
Reaching Corsica by boat strike me as the proper 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 buildings oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia indicates "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 - twenty km south from the town center. Flights arrive from mainland France, Germany, England, 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 Mediterranean gem, and if you would like to feel 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 cooking. A number of walking Corsican holidays 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 so it is! Corsica is still untouched by mass-tourism and provides a breathtakingly diverse landscape. You will notice that the people in Corsica are committed to keep their completely unique culture in existence.
