Corsica Holidays

The French island with much to offer
Corsica is an island that can claim to have it all. With beautiful beaches and spectacular landscapes, it is incredibly pleasing on the eye. Although it is our closest Mediterranean island, not a great deal is widely known about Corsica, which results in it being almost untouched and unspoilt. With 600 miles of vast, uncrowded beaches, and clear deep blue waters, Corsica’s beaches are dramatic and almost unrivalled in many parts of the world. From the picturesque beaches to the soaring peaks of its many mountains, there is a rugged beauty about Corsica that enchants all its visitors and makes a package holiday to the island an unforgettable experience.

An island full of friendly faces
Corsicans are a people rich in tradition. They have an independent spirit and are proud, hospitable and generous people. Spending some time with them is refreshing and enjoyable, and will undoubtedly add to the enjoyment of your holiday. They also love their food, which explains the massive number of exceptional restaurants and cafes that can be found all over the island. Many of the ingredients are caught or grown on the island, with vineyards and orange trees a common sight. Culinary delights are found almost everywhere, and you’ll be sure to come home with a few new favourite dishes, most of which however, you won’t taste anywhere else.

Endless activities and places to visit
There are a massive number of sights in Corsica, each town having its own unique special places. There are citadelles in many of towns, such as Propriano, and Roman excavations at Aleria. There is a great deal of historical interest all over the island. There are also events such as jazz festivals at certain times of the year, and the improvised music and song in the Balagne Villages. There are literally too many activities to mention, but one guarantee is that you will not run out things to do.

‘The Isle of Beauty’
Known as the ‘Isle of Beauty’, Corsica truly lives up to its name. Spectacular views and sights are endless, and with a plethora of activities, it is an outstanding destination for any type of holiday. The Mediterranean climate means the environment is as enjoyable as many other holiday destinations, but you are unlikely to find one so unspoilt and entertaining. There are often offers and late deals available to Corsica, an island of true beauty, and an experience that should be enjoyed by everyone.

Weather in Corsica

The weather in Corsica is typically Mediterranean. However, a general overview of Corsica weather must take into account wide variations due to mountains that rise to 9000 feet. Predicting weather in the Corsican interior is further complicated by small regional microclimates. Most visitors will be interested in the weather on the coast, where the climate is much warmer. Corsica is consistently one of the sunniest parts of France, with a summer average of 10 hours of sunshine and plenty of sunny days from April onwards. A long sunny beach season lasts from the first serious swimming weather in May to the end of October, with average temperatures rising from around 20C in May to 27C in July and August. The hottest days can go well over 30C. May to September are the driest months in Corsica but the mountains create short sharp thunderstorms. Pleasantly cooling coastal breezes are ideal for sailing and windsurfing in Corsica. Refreshing Corsica mountain excursions make an idyllic break on the hottest days on the beach.
