It’s not hard to find things to see in a place as beautiful as Corsica. While the beach is clearly the main draw, Corsica doesn’t flag in offering you places of interest away from the coast itself. Whether it’s spectacular cliff-side towns or stunning natural features, this island’s attractions do not disappoint.

Aiguilles de Bavella
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Corsica is the Aiguelles de Bavella, the island’s sharp mountainous peaks, which appear to change colour at different times of the day. Go climbing or hiking in the Bavella Pass for an exciting day’s exploration
