Corsica Adventure - Walk The Mediterranean Island
Corsica is part of France & one of the country's great patriarchs took his first breath on this Mediterranean island: Napoleon Bonaparte.
Situated just so close to Italy as Corsica is, you straight away become aware that it's not as a whole French, but rather a blend of French/Italian culture, language, food and lifestyle.
Most walking holidays will lead you from the highland , in the midsection of the island, down to Ajaccio by the sea.
Reaching the island by boat strike me as the appropriate way, & you can begin a voyage from Livorno & Genoa in Italy or from Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.
Arriving into the historic port of Bastia, facing east towards Italy, the baroque buildings oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia usually means "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 come from mainland France, Germany, United Kingdom, Morocco, Sweden, Luxembourg and Italy.
Trains from Bastia can bring you to Ajaccio, Calvi or Ponte Leccia & you will find buses and coaches to take you in all directions.
Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as already said , from the middle of the retreat, & should you care to experience the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at an altitude of 650m, is the exact place to do so. The locals gather for a game of boule & they still gather wild herbs for their home cuisine. A handful of walking Corsican tours starts from here, and the setting is astonishing! It is connected to Bastia by railroad.
The locals call Corsica 'Ile de Beaute' - the beautiful island. And nothing is more true! The island is still untouched by mass-tourism & offers a breathtakingly diverse landscape. You will observe that the Corsican people are committed to keep their completely unique culture alive.
