Arriving to Corsica by boat seems to be the appropriate way, and
you can sail from Livorno, Genoa and Savone in Italy or from
Marseilles, Nice or Toulon in France.

Arriving into the historic port of Bastia, facing east towards Italy,
the baroque architecture oozes history going back to 1378. Bastia
means "fortified site" and that is what Bastia started out
as....centuries ago.

Naturally you can choose to fly into Bastia Poretta airport 20 km
south from the town center. Flights arrive from mainland France,
Germany, England, Morocco, Sweden, Luxembourg and Italy. You
can arrange for car hire in
Bastia airport.

There is no better way to do Corsica than walking through
forests, valleys and traditional Corsican villages. The beautiful
smell of aromatic herbs is stronger here than anywhere else I
have been.

Corsica is part of France and one of the country's great patriarchs
was born on this Mediterranean island: Napoléon Bonaparte.

Walking in Corsica:
Long-distance and
Short Walks
(Cicerone International
Walking)
By Gillian Price
Being so close to
Italy as Corsica is,
you straight away
get the feeling that
it's not altogether
French, but rather a
mixture of French/
Italian culture, langu-
age, food and
lifestyle.
Most walking holi-
days will take you
from the mountains,
in the middle of the
island, down to
Ajaccio by the sea.
Trains from Bastia can take you to Ajaccio, Calvi or Ponte Leccia
and you will find buses and coaches to take you in all directions.

Most walking holidays in Corsica starts, as mentioned, from the
middle of the island, and if you would like to experience the pace of
life in a rural village: Bocognano, at an altitude of 650m, is the
perfect place. The locals meet for a game of boule and they still
gather wild herbs for their home cooking.

A number of
walking Corsica holidays starts from here, and the
surroundings are stunning! It is connected to Bastia by train.
