GET THERE
Corsica has three airports, Figari, Bastia and Ajaccio and is well served with flights from the UK. Figari airport is ideally situated as it is only 15 minutes from Bonifacio and all the best spots. To get to the south of the island from Bastia or Ajaccio is a 2 to 2 ½ hour drive. From Bastia, it’s an easy drive straight down the east coast to Porto Vecchio. From Ajaccio, the roads are winding but offer amazing views, it is my favourite route! Alternatively ferries run from Marseille, Toulon or Nice and there are 3 main companies: Corsica Ferries, CorsicaLinea and La Méridionale. Planning your trip two months ahead will allow you to get the cheapest rates.
