Corsica regions
Corsica is an island to explore at a leisurely place, to stop and absorb the atmosphere or to linger at a harbour side cafe. Almost all regions have something to offer, from the mountains in the centre to the beaches that line a large part of the coast. Unfortunately this means it is impossible to enjoy all that Corsica has to offer during just one visit!
