Visit North Corsica
Located at the north / north-east end of Corsica, this region includes the Cap Corse peninsula. The two most important towns in this part of Corsica are found either side of the base of the peninsula at Bastia and Saint-Florent.
Explore the north-east of Corsica
If you want to see a quieter more traditional side of Corsica then the north-east of Corsica and the Cap Corse peninsula are a good choice. There are none of the major sites of Corsica here but you can enjoy good scenery, quiet beaches and a relaxed atmosphere.
The key town in the north is Bastia which as well as its new port has an old harbour which is very picturesque and there is also an interesting citadel. Saint-Florent is a resort with an attractive harbour and some good sandy beaches.
At the north is the Cap Corse peninsula dotted with little fishing villages. You can tour round in a day or take a more leisurely pace and spend 2 days exploring. Start on the eastern side in the morning and come down the western coast in the afternoon / evening to enjoy the best of the sunrises and sunsets.
