Corsica Italy 2016
When I think about this Corsica trip it was when I was first dating my boyfriend Alberto who’s now my husband. June will be five years that we’re married and this was our first trip together. We went in May and drove to the port in Livorno (Tuscany region south). From Veneto it takes almost four hours. We wanted to have our motorcycle in Corsica to go around so we took the ferry . It was an easy ride and I recommend it if you want to bring your car , vespa or motorcycle. This is an easy site to check the time tables if you’re considering the ferry .http://go-ferry.com To be honest I have no idea where we even stayed. Back then I was doing feature dance shows on a Friday so I’d have the weekend off. I’d work from midnight to 5 am then he would pick me up and whisk me off to a beautiful new destination in Italy . It was a fun sexy way to see this beautiful country and we were falling in love in the process… Where is Corsica Corsica is part of France so there’s a lot of french/Italian speaking and you will find both types of food there. It’s an Island located in the Mediterranean sea west of Italy. Sardegna is directly south. One sweet thing was that they make delicious Jams , and sweets with the local Hazelnuts grown there . The meat and cheeses will have some of this “essence ” especially the wild boar as they love to eat the Hazelnuts ! What to see and do in Corsica We had our motorcycle so we cruised around the island up to the highest peak Monte Cinto . Corsica is the most mountainous Mediterranean island. There’s many forests with beautiful hiking trails (our favorite activity) and I couldn’t get over how green and lush the island was .Bonifacio is also STUNNING!! It’s located at the most southern tip of Corsica and the limestone cliff allows you see beautiful views of the Tyrrhennian sea. The best time to visit Corsica We visited in May and the weather and beaches were perfect! A few beaches we went to were Calvi , which can be quite touristy and crowded but fun ! Palombaggia which was not only very beautiful but much more serene.. We even managed to snap a few sexy pics …The last few times I’ve gone to Sardegna I’ve thought why can’t I just hop on over to Corsica LOL It would be so easy!! If you’re coming to Italy I’d make it part of your stop! You can squeeze it in on your next trip to France too!! XO
