During your trip, you will visit both Northern and Southern Corsica and discover amazing places (Calvi, the Cap Corse, Ajaccio, Bonifacio and a lot more!) as well as the best beaches of Corsica.

A quick note before starting: if you prefer to spend 15 days in Corsica staying in just 1 place, you can click there.

In addition to the must-see attractions for each stage of your itinerary, I will also give you all my best tips and accommodation suggestions depending on your budget.

So, how to spend 2 weeks in Corsica?

Let’s find out!

1) Bastia (1 day)

To visit Corsica in 14-15 days, the best is to arrive in Bastia.

Easily accessible by plane or ferry boat, it’s the best city to start your road trip around the island.

In any case, you’ll need a car (or a motorbike) to discover Corsica. You can bring your own by ferry boat or rent a car when you will arrive on the island. 

I always book my cars on Rentalcars.com, whether I’m in Greece, Sicily or even Thailand. This very practical website allows you to compare prices between all the rental companies in Bastia and Corsica!

And if you don’t have an insurance with your credit card, you can opt for the “Full Protection Insurance”, to be fully refunded in case of accident or theft. Tested and approved, they have already refunded me more than 1200€😎.
