Corsica

Información

Set sail with French soil in your sights on this Corsican adventure. The Gallic island is almost within touching distance of Sardinia, just a short boat ride away. First thing's first, you'll enjoy a coach ride to the north of the island before being whisked across the water to Corsica. You'll visit the most breathtaking town in Corsica, Bonifacio. A fortress town perched so close to the cliff edge, you'll wonder how it's not toppled into the sea. The town's fjord-like harbour is a real talking point, too. Virtually landlocked, a crack in the rock face opens out onto a marina that bulges with super-size yachts. The chic harbourside restaurants are a real hit with the Med-cruising jet set who love to sit and soak up the view. But the real must-see here is Bonifacio's 'Haute Ville'. Save your legs and take the little train up the hill. Follow in the footsteps of the famous vertically challenged Emperor, Napoleon, as you wander the cobbled streets. Browse for antiques, handicrafts and jewellery in the shops that now fill the ancient houses. Or head back to the harbour to watch the yachts come and go.
