WHERE TO STAY
A wide range of accommodation is available. Our favourite campsite was La Trinité, Route de Bonifacio, close to all the spots. It features a great wood-fired grill restaurant which is open every night. There’s also lots of Hotels and Airbnb options.
WHERE TO EAT
The food is really good in Corsica and there’s lots of traditional fare on offer. All year-round you can find wild boar stew, a local favourite, served in all the good restaurants. At La Tonnara, I recommend Chez Marco, a fine seafood restaurant serving the day’s catch. Other recommendations include: the ‘Le Relai’ restaurant in the village of Sotta near Figari, Restaurant Auberge du Sanglier in Zonca and Restaurant Le V.O. (Version Originale), at Porto Vecchio. There’s also lots of good restaurants to choose from in Bonnifacio.
WHERE TO GO OUT
Party-goers should head to Bonifacio and especially Porto Vecchio. Check out the popular Le Patio bar and Le Via Notte (club) in Porto Vecchio. Other places worth a look are Le Moby Dick in Santa Giulia (bar-restaurant), Le Shanka in Porto Vecchio (bar-restaurant), Le B52 (bar) in Bonifacio and Le Clint (bar-club) in Porto Vecchio.
NO WIND OPTIONS
Corsica is famous for hiking due to the GR 20, a long distance trail that traverses Corsica diagonally from north to south. Corsica is full of rivers with crystal clear and cool waters towards Porto Vecchio. Bavella offers nice diving opportunities at the start of the hike as the water there is deep. Those who seek peace and quiet can climb further up but ask about water depth before leaving and diving in as it varies depending on the season.
Other options include: Karting in Figari (from 25 euros for 10 minutes), Bonifacio Golf course, hiking in the Cagna mountains, natural pools of Cavu, tree walking at l’Ospédale and diving and snorkelling.
