Trip Preparation
Latest version edited by HolidayCheck.com
Corsica is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (8720 km ²), after Sicily and Sardinia. Granite rock, cut by deep gorges, mountains covered with pine and chestnut trees, and the blue
waters of the lovely lagoons make it a dream destination for every tourist.Getting there
The Island of Corsica can be reached in two ways- by plane or by sea. The island territorially belongs to France, therefore for EU citizens there is no problem entering. Of course, you must have with you proof of identity, which is useful when you get on the ferry or plane.
When to go
Corsica is sunny year round. In the summer the heat is sometimes unbearable, with temperatures reaching 36 degrees. The Island has many thunderstorms in the summer. The water temperature is often 25 degrees, ideal for those who love to swim in warm waters. Off-season temperatures tend to be mild (with the exception of the higher parts of the area where it snows), conducive to long walks.
Country and People
History
The excellent geographical location of the island is also its downfall, because from the very beginning it was a tasty morsel for close and distant neighbors, and the sea often brought uninvited guests. Legend has it that the founder of the first settlement was a Corsican named Kors, who arrived here with his herd of cows (the oldest human remains found on the island belong to the woman living there were approximately 6.5 thousand. years BC.)
People
Although Corsica has belonged to France for over 230 years, the inhabitants of the island still cherish their individuality.
