CORSICA TRAVEL GUIDE - 8 beautiful spots on the island

Рет қаралды 215,761

Күн бұрын

Corsica is a place I believe goes a little under the radar when it comes to popular holidays destinations in Europe. It’s not lacking in beautiful scenery, so whether you’re visiting Corsica to relax on its sandy shores and bathe in the clear turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, or planning on hiking the great granite peaks that dominate the inland, there’s plenty to see that will make a return visit a must.
After visiting this stunning island a number of times over the years, and most recently for a month in July 2019, I decided to make a travel guide taking you through 8 of my favourite spots on the island.
There's a reason Corsica is also known as the "Isle of Beauty", and hopefully you'll understand why once you've watched this video!

Gosh I miss corsica sooo much. I was there in 2007 and 2011. First time we travelled everything around the north, east and south. Second time we stayed in Porto and travelled along the Calanches de Piana and hiked to Capo Rosso which was pretty exhausting but fun :) Thanks for the beautiful video. I am no longer able to go because of an illness I have but maybe one day. Would be a dream to come true :)

@KennyC 3 жыл бұрын

Really appreciate it mate! Somewhere I didn't mention in the video at all is Porto Vecchio. It's not as picturesque as Bonifacio (but then I think you'd struggle to find a place that is), but it's a little bigger and the old town centre has a lot going, especially in the evenings in peak season. The town is also very close to Palombaggia beach, #3 in the video! Definitely worth looking into though

Why not Belgùde(Belgodère) ? It's in the north near Calvi kinda isolated in the mountains with amazing views of the valley and the sea, btw there's almost no tourist at all in Belgodère and it's very calm so if you wanna visit northern Corsica you can definitely visit.It's also very small and there's not many people maybe around 600 and there's not many things to see in it except the views, the amazing people and also Losari beach that also have an ancient genoan tower. Anyways I hope this can help you.

@KennyC Жыл бұрын

That's so nice to hear! You won't regret it! I haven't uploaded any content in a couple of years now, but my main recommendation would be to create pieces of content that are going to help out other people. I created plenty of 'highlight reels' from some of my trips, but besides looking nice they don't really do anything. They're a great way for me to remember my own experiences, but anyone else watching wasn't actually there, so isn't going to feel that same nostalgia you do. Instead, they're likely on KZfaq because they're trying to plan their own holiday/trip, and so help them do that by providing commentary like do's and don'ts, where to go and where to avoid, how much you spent to give them an idea on the overall cost etc. Hope that helps!

Corsica is just so beautiful everywhere. The west and south coasts are spectacular. The west coast is a bit wilder, the surf is stronger. Porto is a nice place there. At the east coast the surf is little milder. Calvi is a beautiful little city in the north west, and Bonifacio in the South. Porto Veccio and Sartene are very picturesque little cities. Corsica is also great for hiking. It's difficult to tell you where to go, because there is so much to see everywhere. A tip: You could try to take the "Fiery Elias", a little, kind of funny train riding close to the beach from Calvi to Ile Rousse

Yes it can be busy in peak times, but the tourist footfall per year for Corsica is far less than other European 'island' holiday destinations, like Mallorca, Tenerife, Ibiza, Crete, Rhodes, Sicily, Sardinia and Cyprus. It might be more well known in some regions of Europe than others (like France and Italy) but if you ask the average person in somewhere like the UK whether they've heard of Corsica, 9 times out of 10 they'll say no. Ask them about any of the above islands listed, and I bet it's a different story.

@anonymous134y 3 жыл бұрын

my only issue with corisca is that it's more expensive to fly to than similar islands. I'm living in Paris and I can go to mallorca (similar type of island) for less than half the price. I can even go to madeira/canary islands for less and they are much better islands closer to Hawaii type vibes. Going to most greek islands costs just as much as well.
