Corsica is widely known as the birthplace of Napoleon. In Ajaccio, everything reminds the travelor of the emperor; his house, the dome where he was christened, a museum, and the monuments.
The island is full of high mountains and clear bays, but the most lasting experience is provded by the small cities like Calvi, Coste, or Sartene, with their characteristically Corsican style.
Above the nice and various beaches they are many towers built under the Genovese rule. The city cores evoke the medieval France, while the magnificent mountains evoke the Alps. Porto bay is one that can not be missed, the little villages famous of the craftmanship, and Patrimonio with its well-known vineyard.
Take an unforgettable boat trip in the Bonifacio bay and in the sea caverns around the town. In the larger cities there are markets held on every weekend and lets not forget that Corsica enchants people with the best of the French and local cuisine!
