Corsica Path Walking - Walk The Mediterranean Island




Corsica belongs to France & one of the country's famed 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 fully French, but rather a mixup 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 suitable way, & you can take a boat 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.

Certainly you can choose to fly into Bastia Poretta airport - twenty km south from the town center. Planes get there 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 stated, from the midsection of the Mediterranean, and should you care to feel the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at an altitude of 650m, is the best place to do so. The locals get together for a game of boule & they still collect 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 the.

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 realize that the people in Corsica are committed to keep their specific culture alive and kicking.
