Hi Steve,
You know, despite my best efforts, I haven’t managed to return to Corsica. But it sure is on my list!
Glad you liked it so much. Indeed, it’s a magical place, and on re-reading this post and watching (my own!) video, my desire to return has been renewed. 🙂

Hi Nora……

Just wondering if you ever made it back to Corsica yet?
I was just there back in June for 13 days, and it’s my favorite place in Europe.

Swimming the Restonica and taking the drive from Corte to Evisa to Piana was simply amazing

Hi Elisa,
Oh yes! Corsica is still high on my list; I’d love to stay there for a few months. Let’s see what this year brings! 🙂

Very nice article ! I hope you’ll come back very soon in Corsica so you’ll be able to see a little bit more than “just” Ajaccio !!!!

Hi Jay,
I’m glad I’m not the only one! That festival sounds pretty cool….maybe I’ll time my (hopeful, eventual) return to that!

Corsica was such a big surprise for me! I can absolutely relate to your post. It´s such a small piece of land and yet so geographically diverse! Whether you´re a hiker, diver, swimmer, or simply a culture buff there´s something for everyone. We came in July just in time for one of their biggest rural festivals. Can´t remember the name, but it was all about the olive..local artisans selling their products presenting them with a real pride and passion, tasting every few steps..one of the most pleasant experiences we´ve had in Corsica.

Ha ha – thanks, Bethaney!
And yes – Corsica is a lovely combination of France, Italy, and something with its own distinct flavour as well. I’ve realized I’m typically drawn to island nations and communities (Hawaii, New Zealand, Grenada, and now Corsica…), and I wonder if there’s something to it. There seems to be a different pace and way of life.

Corsica is high up my list to explore. I went to Sardinia a few years ago and it was probably the best short break I did while I lived in Europe. Three days of sun, sea, sailing and… Italian food!!! I imagine Corsica would be similarly wonderful except replace the pizza and gnocchi with amazingly delicious french food.

I love your snazzy purple outfit by the way!!!!

Hi Gary,
Corsica is indeed an awesome place; I’m glad you got to see both the mountain towns and the city ambiance.
And yes – my least favourite question = what’s your favourite place! And funnily enough, I often find myself asking that of other travelers. Ha ha!

My wife and I spent 13 months scouring the globe last year. Invariably on return people ask what was the highlight. How do you answer that? However we always throw Corsica into the mix, it is a special place. Keep your work coming.
