FRANCE - Corsica
The island’s appeal lies in its superb natural landscapes. With its magnificent mountain scenery and delightful seascapes, Corsica is full of surprises.
Shaped and hollowed by erosion, the striking red granite cliffs known as the Calanche de Piana plunge steeply into the sea. Also remarkable is the hamlet of Girolata, overlooked by a Genoese fort and only accessible by boat. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Gulf of Porto is a breathtaking sight, with its granite cliffs soaked by the sun and its multi-coloured pebble beaches. Although very different in character, the Straits of Bonifacio, which separate Corsica from Sardinia, are equally stunning.
