Publisher's Synopsis
Discover Corsica - a wild island bejeweled with stunning natural scenery.
Whether you want to hike to the island's heights, laze on its golden sands, or explore the local culture, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Corsica has to offer.
Bisected north to south by a dramatic mountain chain, with forests giving way to vineyards and citrus groves on the lower slopes, Corsica is a hiker's paradise. The beaches here are also breathtaking, whether you want secret coves tucked into cliffs or endless stretches of fine, white sand. Complementing these natural wonders are lively harbour towns such as Ajaccio and Bastia, where traditional culture lives on in soul-stirring music and delicious local cuisine.
Our newly updated guide brings Corsica to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights and advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the island's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods.
