Walking the streets of Ajaccio.
pfsmalo Says: Ajaccio is not that big, or at least the part that most tourists will see, so is easily walkable. Completely flat along the harbour, where you can often see the cruiseships that come from Toulon, Nice or Sardinia, there are some gentle slopes in the old town.The cruiseship "...

Hotel Dauphin: Handy for Ferry and Train

Very cool Tapas restaurant opened all year long. In summer some tables availables outside... Very good ambiance with live music sometimes.
Budget depends on what you drink/eat, so it can be affordable for every one (but not as cheap as a sandwich / fries elsewhere)
Favorite Dish: Most tapas are very good - Cool sangria too
5 tapas for 13 euros - 1 litter sangria for 13 euros

Corsican beer is not the best i*ve tasted on my travels around europe, but it will do. If you want draught beer from a pump ask for pression. There are the big european brews as well. The main Corsican beer is Pietra and Serena.

We were sunbathing on the beach in Ajaccio and decided to have two small cans of Lipton's Iced Tea from a wooden-built beach cafe. We were charged 6 Euros - around 4pound -20p! ($7)
Cheaper to buy across the road in the town.

Mediterranean Port Ajaccio, Corsica
We enjoyed the French ambiance of this little town, just hanging out and exploring its nooks and crannys, even though we had to endure some short bursts of rain several times while in this port.
