Our tips for Corsica
We rolled off the ferry from Sardinia straight into Bonifacio, a town clinging to white cliffs high above the sea. From there we drove the camper north with our little ones, along twisting mountain roads and bays with water so clear you'd swear you were in the Caribbean. At the red rocks of Piana we took the kids on a short walk to a viewpoint, while Sebastiaan headed off on a long hike nearby. The kids were all about the beaches where the water stays shallow for ages, and in Bastia we lost track of time on a terrace by the old harbour. Here you'll find the island's best places, beaches and towns.
