Explore Corsica

Corsica, a mountainous Mediterranean island, presents a mix of stylish coastal towns, dense forest and craggy peaks (Monte Cinto is the highest). Nearly half the island falls within a park whose hiking trails include the challenging GR 20. Its beaches range from busy Pietracorbara to remote camping-friendly Saleccia and Rondinara. Its been part of France since 1768, but retains a distinct Italian flavor.
