Visit Corsica: The 35 Best Places to Visit and Must-See Attractions

1. Bastia

Let’s start this Corsica travel guide with Bastia, the island’s economic capital.

Located in the north, the city is a good starting point for a trip to Corsica. With its port and international airport, you can easily get there by plane or with the ferries from France (from Nice and Toulon for example) or Italy.

Here are the best places to see in Bastia :

• St. Nicholas Square and its many restaurants and cafés
• Napoleon Street, a lovely pedestrian street with many shops
• The market which takes place every Saturday and Sunday morning
• The church of St. John the Baptist and its 2 bell towers, in the Terra Vecchia district
• The Old Port, the best place to have a drink on a sunny terrace !
• The Romieu gardens and stairs
• The citadel of Bastia where the Terra Nova neighborhood is located
• The Governors’ Palace housing the Bastia History Museum
• St. Mary’s Cathedral, built in 1619, where you can find masterpieces by Italian painters.

And if you want to take a dip, try one of Bastia’s most beautiful beaches:

• Arinella beach, a large sandy beach where you can enjoy many nautical activities
• The beaches of the Marana, located next to Arinella
• The pebble beach of Toga, only a 5 minutes walk from the city centre

You can find detailed information about Bastia in my article: The 17 best things to do in Bastia. 

2. Cap Corse

Located North of Bastia, Cap Corse is among the best places to see in Corsica.

What are the best things to do in Cap Corse?

• Take the customs officers’ Path (“Chemin des douaniers” in French) that connects the Macinaggio and Centuri villages. During this 19 km long walk along the coast, you will enjoy splendid views.

This trail is divided into 2 sections:

• • The most interesting part goes from Macinaggio to Barcaggio. This 3h30 walk along the seaside offers many beautiful beaches where you can stop for a swim.
  • The other part, from Barcaggio to Centuri, is a bit more difficult and takes about 4 hours. As the path is mainly overlooking the sea, it’s harder to find a beach to take a dip!

• Do a 2-hour commented cruise departing from Macinaggio: you will discover the Cap Corse and its Genoese towers, the Finocchiarola archipelago and Barcaggio. You will also enjoy a short swimming stop. It’s the best way to discover Cap Corse if you don’t feel like walking! (Information available here)
• Discover the beautiful villages of Cap Corse: Rogliano, Barrettali, Canari, Pietracorbara… From there, you can also enjoy many walking trails.
• Visit Nonza and its famous black pebble beach.
• Stop at the Mattei mill’s and enjoy a breathtaking view over most of Cap Corse.
• Drive along the Patrimonio wine route (I will give you more information about it later in this article).

3. Saint Florent

Saint Florent is the second largest marina in Corsica, after Ajaccio. Often compared to Saint-Tropez, this charming village welcomes many tourists every summer and even a few french and international stars!

Take a short walk along the port, and climb up to the citadel through the village’s beautiful small alleys. It won’t take long, and you will enjoy a beautiful panorama, overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Florent.

You should also take some time to visit Santa Maria Assunta cathedral, entirely built in white limestone.

Saint Florent is also the starting point for the Agriates desert boat tours. With its magnificent sand beaches and amazing preserved landscapes, it’s clearly one of Corsica’s must-see attractions!

If you wish to spend a whole day sunbathing and swimming during your holidays in Corsica, you’re in the right place!

8. The Revellata peninsula and Our Lady of the Serra

Let’s stay in Calvi’s surroundings to visit a less known tourist site: the Revellata.

The Revellata peninsula is a rather wild area. With its many walking trails, small and quiet white sandy beach and many preserved coves, it’s the perfect place to spend a relaxing day walking, sunbathing and swiming.

Scandola reserve is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and hosts an exceptional and well-protected marine and terrestrial wildlife. The only way to reach Scandola is by boat, and it’s strictly forbidden to walk, hunt, fish or dive there.

If you wish to visit the reserve, you will need to go to the small port of Porto, in Corsica. (Not to be mistaken with Porto in Portugal!)

From there, you can choose between many different boat excursions.

All these tours also include a stop in Girolata, a former fishing village only accessible by boat or a hiking trail.

15. Spelunca Gorge

The Spelunca Gorge trail is among the Corsica’s most beautiful and popular walks.

This mule track connects the 2 small villages of Evisa and Ota, located near Porto and the Calanques of Piana.

It takes around 5 hours to do the whole hike: 2 hours down the Gorge from Evisa, and 3 hours to climb back up.

If you don’t feel like walking that much, you can always do the shorter and easier trail, starting from Ota. You’ll walk along the river, then climb up a bit and go down to reach the small stone bridge of Zaglia, classified as a historical monument.

This part of the trail is the most frequented. It takes about 1 hour to do it, if you don’t stop to take photos or for a dip in the river!

16. The forest of Aïtone

If you want to take a dip in a crystal clear river and enjoy a beautiful preserved nature, then you should definitely visit the forest of Aïtone.

Located only a 40-minute drive from Porto and close to Spelunca Gorge, this magnificent 4000-hectare forest is renowned for its huge hundred-year-old Laricio pines.

There, you can enjoy many walking trails. The easiest reaches the river in only 10 minutes and allows you to swim in beautiful natural pools!

If you want to enjoy a bit of fresh air and beautiful nature, it’s clearly a great place to visit during your holidays in Corsica.

17. Cargese

Cargese is a small Corsican village located between Porto and Ajaccio. The most interesting thing about this village is its particular history.

It was built in 1774 as a refuge for a Greek community, whose ancestors had left Greece and Peloponnese to escape the Ottoman domination. About a hundred houses were built for the Greeks, as well as the only Byzantine church in Corsica!

50 years later, as there were more and more Corsican people living in Cargese, a Latin Church was also built. Today, these 2 churches facing each other are the village’s landmark.

From Cargese, you can reach 5 beautiful beaches:

• Chiuni beach
• Peru beach
• Menasina beach
• Capizollu beach
• Stagnoli beach

18. Ajaccio and the Sanguinaires Islands

20. Sartene

Let’s continue this Corsica travel guide with Sartene, a typical village with beautiful stone houses.

Start your tour at the central Liberation Square, where Sainte-Marie church is located, and walk down the paved alleys to discover the old town.

The village is rather small and often crowded (as many tourist buses stops here), but also very pretty!

And if you want to learn more about the village’s history, you can rent an audio guide for 5€ at the tourist office.

21. Bonifacio

Bonifacio is clearly one of the must-see cities in Southern Corsica.

While preparing your trip to Corsica, you have probably seen the photo of Bonifacio houses, perched on top of a white cliff, overlooking the sea. It’s clearly one of the island’s most iconic picture.

Located in the extreme south of Corsica, Bonifacio and its surroundings offers splendid panoramas, and beaches ranked among Corsica’s most beautiful. That’s why you should definitely spend a few days in Bonifacio during your stay!

What are the best things to do in Bonifacio, Corsica?

The Lavezzi Islands are clearly among the best places to see around Bonifacio.

It takes only 30 minutes by boat to reach the islands from the port of Bonifacio. There, you will enjoy splendid coves and beaches. The program of that day will be very simple: swimming, sunbathing and relaxing!

You can also walk all around the island.

Even if it’s supposed to last only 1 hour, you should count at least 2h30, as you will stop many times to take pictures and enjoy the panorama!

In my opinion, “Chiesa” is the island’s most beautiful beach. It offers a splendid scenery, with huge rocks and turquoise water. It’s also one of the quietest places on the Islands, as you can’t access it by boat.

You will find every information you need to visit the islands in my article: How to visit the Lavezzi Islands?

23. Porto-Vecchio

What are the best places to visit in Porto-Vecchio, in Southern Corsica?

I must warn you: the city itself isn’t that interesting. It has a pleasant but very tiny old town, and there isn’t much to do!

In fact, most people come to Porto-Vecchio to enjoy the sumptuous beaches of the surroundings.

Here are the 5 most beautiful beaches around the city:

• Rondinara Beach
• Santa Giulia Beach
• Palombaggia Beach
• Tamaricciu Beach
• Pinarelllu Beach

It can be difficult to choose one, as they all offers white sand and crystal clear water. You will have to try all of them to make up your mind!

And if you want to enjoy something different, you should go to Cavu Valley.

The river offers beautiful natural swimming pools. It’s really a great spot if you’re visiting Corsica with children!

You will find every information you need to visit Porto-Vecchio area in my article: The 17 best things to do in Porto-Vecchio.

24. The Ospedale

Located North of Porto-Vecchio, the Ospedale forest is another place you should visit during your trip to Corsica.

The road to get there offers beautiful views over the Porto-Vecchio Bay.

On the way, you will also discover the Ospedale Lake, located in the middle of the mountains. It reminded me a bit of Canada!

From the Ospedale, a 2-hour hike takes you to Corsica’s largest waterfall: the Piscia di Gallu. Be careful, as the last part of the trail is very steep.

25. The Aiguilles de Bavella

The “Aiguilles de Bavella” are another famous tourist site in Corsica, and one of the best places to hike on the island.

From the Bavella Pass, located in the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, you can choose between several marked trails. During your walk, you will enjoy beautiful panoramas over the rocky peaks.

26. Corte

Let’s continue this list of Corsica’s best points of interest with the city of Corte.

Located at the heart of the island, Corte is home to Corsica’s only university. It has therefore more students than inhabitants!

The Genoese Bridge, classified as a historic monument, is one of the Asco Valley’s most famous places.

This beautiful ancient bridge is located below the village of Asco. The place is also famous for its large natural swimming pool, perfect if you want to take a dip!

After your hike, you can relax and swim in the many natural pools in the gorge!
