About Corsica

The Greeks named it "kalliste" - the island of beauty. Corsica is only 180 km away from the French Riviera, but the 2 areas are like night and day. Riviera is as urbanized as Corsica is wild. Today, Corsica is still one of the most charming places of the Mediterranean.

Corsica is a mountain in the Mediterranean. The granite heights define its outline and also determine much of the character of the people. The island's history has involved most of the countries on the shores of the Mediterranean, but it remains quite unlike any of them. Its attraction lies in nature and is a rock-hard paradise.
