Corsica is part of The French & one of the country's famed patriarchs was born on this Mediterranean island: Napoleon Bonaparte.
Being just so near to Italy as Corsica is, you immediately get the feeling that it's not entirely French, but somewhat more a blend of French/Italian culture, language, food & lifestyle.
Most walking holidays will take you from the mountains, in the midsection of the French island, down to Ajaccio by the coast.
Arriving to the island by ship strike me as the suitable way, and you can sail from Livorno & Genoa in Italy or from Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.
Approaching the historic harbor of Bastia, facing east towards Italy, the baroque architecture oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia usually means "fortified site" and that is what Bastia was 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, United Kingdom, Morocco, Sweden, Luxembourg & Italy.
Trains from Bastia can carry you to Ajaccio, Calvi or Ponte Leccia and you will find buses and coaches to take you in almost all directions.
Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as already said , from the midsection of the island, and should you care to feel the pace of life in a rural village: - Bocognano, at a height of 650m, is the perfect place to do so. The locals meet for a game of petang & they still collect wild herbs for their home cooking. A number of walking Corsican tours begin here, & the surroundings are stunning! It is joined 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 & provides a breathtakingly diverse scenery. You will find that the Corsican people are enthusiastic to keep their completely unique culture alive and kicking.
