The island of Corsica is ideal for either luxurious holidays or physical activity holidays.
Lucy White, editor of the Rough Guide to Corsica said it offers both luxury and down to earth experiences, and said tourists are enticed there by the reliably hot climate coupled with sandy beaches.
Corsica offers a lot of water activities, including sailing to the surrounding caves and inlets and fishing, as well as more adventurous activities such as mountain biking and canyoning.
Those travelling to Corsica may find themselves at one of the several cultural festivals which take place in the region, which attract a lot of tourists.
The Estivoce festival sees Corsicans holding concerts of traditional songs in streets, villages and churches.
