About this tour

Be swept away by Corsica’s nature, culture, and soul—on a journey that lingers long after it ends. In sun-kissed Ajaccio, stroll in the footsteps of Napoleon along palm-lined promenades and through lively markets brimming with colour and character. The breathtaking Calanques de Piana near Ota cast their spell with crimson granite cliffs plunging into the deep blue sea—a natural wonder etched into memory. And in the charming harbour town of Bastia, Italian and French influences blend to create a singular atmosphere, where historic walls echo with Mediterranean charm.

Ajaccio

The capital of Corsica, Ajaccio is a sun-soaked city that serves as the gateway to the rugged landscapes of the Mediterranean island. Its palm-lined waterfront, elegant squares and narrow streets are filled with history, being the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte, and visitors can stop at museums in his former home and in a historic palace. Foodies will be delighted with its bustling cafes, world-class restaurants and local markets, and nature lovers can explore the nearby Sanguinaires archipelago and the pristine beaches of the surroundings.
