Corsica belongs to France, but it has never felt like a simple extension of the mainland.
The island has its own language, food and fiercely independent character. Limestone cliffs fall into clear water, mountain roads lead through chestnut forests and small villages, and the coastline moves between polished harbours and coves that still feel wonderfully untouched.
It suits travellers who want the pleasures of France without needing every day to revolve around a famous landmark. There are excellent meals, characterful small hotels, beautiful beaches and a rugged interior that gives the island far more depth than a conventional Mediterranean escape.
Corsica is not somewhere to rush. The roads are part of the experience, the distances can be deceptive and the appeal lies in having enough time to enjoy where you are rather than constantly moving on.
