Corsica: mountains, sea and Mediterranean delights

Even the journey is a pleasure: the ferry sways leisurely across the deep blue Mediterranean, for many relaxing hours until the coast appears on the horizon. Corsica is called "Îlede Beauté" in French, meaning "island of beauty". From the rugged mountains inland to the picturesque coastline with its historic fortified towns, from the chestnut forests in the north to the palm-fringed beaches of the south: beauty wherever you look.
