Corsica convinces with its landscape with its crystal-clear streams and rivers. The water can be drunk unboiled. If there is still snow up in the mountains, the Mediterranean usually attracts with a water temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. Hardly anywhere else are alpine landscapes and secluded bays as close together as in Corsica.
With an average altitude of 5680 meters, Corsica is considered the most mountainous island in the Mediterranean. More than 50 percent of the island is over 4000 meters high. More than 50 mountain peaks are higher than 2,000 meters. The highest mountain, Monte Cinto, measures 2,706 meters. The feeling of altitude is particularly intense, because the sea is almost always within reach.
While the east coast is lined with long sandy beaches, the west coast offers partly rocky, partly sandy smaller and larger bays. If you are looking for the usual tourist hustle and bustle and cultural highlights, this is the wrong place for you.
But you can spend a wonderful individual holiday here. Only in the high season from June to August do many French people spend their holidays here and the hotels and guesthouses are quite fully booked. In the other months, there are hardly any problems.
