The Rough Guide To Corsica

Explore every corner of this beautiful island with the revised fifth edition of the Rough Guide to Corsica. The 24-page, full-colour introduction will inspire you on where to go and what to see, from the spectacular views of Spenlunca Gorge to the blissfully unspoilt beach of La Plage d'Arone. The new 'author picks' section highlights the island's best hotels and restaurants, plus there are hundreds of listings of all the top resorts, bars, clubs and shops to suit all budgets. The guide takes a detailed look at Corsica's historic sites from megalithic Filitosa to Napoleon's birthplace in Ajaccio, with an informed background on Corsican history, culture and wildlife. There is plenty of practical advice on outdoor activities, including hiking the famous GR20 route. The guide comes complete with maps for the whole island.
