Between sea and mountains, explore a wild island
Southern Corsica is a true playground for outdoor activity lovers. Secret coves and long white sand beaches are constant invitations to swim and lounge. Water sports enthusiasts will be delighted, with the possibility of scuba diving, sea kayaking, or paddleboarding in coves with turquoise waters.
Hiking enthusiasts will be thrilled by the countless trails that crisscross the fragrant maquis and pine forests, offering breathtaking panoramas of the Mediterranean Sea. The GR20, considered one of the most difficult long-distance hiking trails in Europe, crosses Southern Corsica and offers a significant challenge for seasoned walkers.
Cycling is a great option for traveling through the region and discovering its panoramas. For the more adventurous, Southern Corsica also offers activities such as canyoning, rock climbing, or via ferrata, allowing you to discover the island from a new perspective.
A fascinating cultural and historical heritage
Southern Corsica is also about a strong culture and deeply rooted traditions. Bonifacio, perched on its limestone cliffs, is a medieval city with enchanting charm. Its cobblestone streets, imposing ramparts, and picturesque marina invite you on a true journey back in time. Ajaccio, the regional capital, is a lively city where you can follow in the footsteps of Napoleon or get lost in the bustling alleys.
Numerous Romanesque churches and chapels dot the territory, offering testimony to the religious fervor that has animated the island for centuries, while the citadels and Genoese towers, scattered along the coast, recall the turbulent history of this haven of peace. Prehistoric sites, such as the alignments of Palaggiu or the site of Filitosa, transport you even further into the history of Corsica.
Corsican traditions are also very much alive, notably with polyphonic singing, to be enjoyed during a concert in a baroque church for a unique and moving experience. Markets abound with local products: cheese, charcuterie, honey, and jams will make your mouth water. And for a complete immersion, why not attend a traditional evening gathering or visit a craft workshop?
