Corsica’s Coast & Country from Calvi to Ajaccio

You will discover the rugged western coastline with its breathtaking vistas and the wild inland “Maquis” – the dense shrubbery that blankets at least half of the island. Along the way there are beautiful beaches, hidden alcoves, small fishing harbours and mountain top ancient villages.
