Popular Destinations in Corsica
Ajaccio
Visit the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. The capital of this Mediterranean Island originates in an Ancient Roman town, and you'll find many museums displaying artefacts they have seen over the years.
Explore the quaint pastel-painted houses along the Old Town, wind through the cobblestoned alleys, and find tucked-away cafes and shops filled with delicious food and marvellous trinkets.
Ajaccio is also home to a harbour filled with ferries and private yachts to take you across the Island.
Lavezzi Islands
Dive the depths in the Lavezzi Islands, a small group of rocky islands off the coast of Corsica. These islands have beautiful shell-sandy beaches and Mediterranean waters, perfect for swimming or scuba diving to explore the friendly marine life, which includes large groupers and other smaller sea creatures.
The colonies have thrived under protection and have no fear of humans, allowing you to get as close as you like.
These islands have no cafes or facilities, so bring food and water, but the mainland is only a 15-minute boat ride away.
Bastia
Relax in this commercial port town, Bastia. It is classified as a 'Town of Art and History and has an impressive backdrop of Cap Corse and lovely rolling hills.
You'll be attracted to its faded charm and twisted alleyways, feeling you've returned in time.
There are cathedrals and monuments aplenty, with many having a juxtaposing luxury interior filled with crystal chandeliers and baroque-style architecture.
Porto Vecchio
Visit this charming old town. Most towns on this Island have ports, and this town is no exception. Dubbed one of Corsica's most fashionable towns, it also has a vibrant nightlife, with many bars packed every night in the summer.
Porto Vecchio is a modernity that meets tradition, with many cobbled streets and historic monuments; there are also beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
Calvi
Yet another port town, Calvi, remains a product of architectural and cultural heritage. Calvi hosts a 13th Century Fortress, and you mustn't leave without visiting its remains, standing proud on the headland.
According to the locals, it is also the birthplace of Christopher Columbus!
Many lively bars and restaurants line the coast up to the citadel, so be sure to sample the local French / Mediterranean cuisine.

Travel Risks in Corsica
Always be vigilant of thieves and pickpockets operating in the area, and keep an eye on your valuables at all times.
Only travel with the amount you intend to use on that day. Corsica has a rustic feel, and debit card transactions are often turned away, so you must rely on cash to pay for your items. This creates a problem, as money is a lot easier to steal.
If driving in Corsica, be vigilant of farm animals on the roads, and when travelling late at night, be wary of drunk drivers, as the number has increased in recent years.
