by Psife Make sure you drink a lot (I mean water of course although the wine is very good ;-) if your there in the summer. It's very hot and you'll need a lot of liquid. If your at the beach all day a parasol is a good investment to be able to escape the sun for a while. Leave a Comment

by coccinella169 Driving in Corsica is a bit of a challenge. On one hand you have a lot of those winding James Bond movie roads with a lot of curves on the coast. If you leave the main roads, some roads become so tiny that hardly one car can pass through. Many roads also have those nasty holes. So, in the countryside it also happens very often that you can only go with 30 km/hour and not faster. And of course there are a lot of straying animals on the roads, from dogs to goats and wild pigs. So be careful! Leave a Comment

Where Terrorism is concerned, Corsica can be compared to Northern Ireland. There are problems because many people want Corsica to be independent. Over the years, it has been ruled by France and Italy but for many, they want their own rule. As a result, there is a lot of graffitti in Corsica and also terrorist attacks. However, after living there for 3 months, I can honestly say I didn't see any problems. All I saw was graffitti on every available wall, a few strikes and reports in Newspapers. Don't let terrorism put you off visiting this lovely island. Leave a Comment

When camping anywhere on Corsica (Especially near Ghisonaccia), dont leave your valuables in your tent! I did, & i lost 700 quid“s worth of stuff... Access into campsites is pretty easy. The police will give you a report for insurance purposes, but don“t expect to see your stuff again. Leave a Comment

Corsica has a big problem with drunk drivers. I noticed in Corte that men, in particular, don't see anything wrong with driving after a night out. It's very dangerous, obviously for those in the car, but also for people walking along the streets. Just be careful. Leave a Comment

Like anywhere, tourists are the targets of thieves. In the busy towns, pick-pockets and purse-snatchers are often at work but surprisingly, theft also occurs in the quieter, rural areas and even on almost empty beaches, so be careful. Leave a Comment

 ocean liners visit Corsica by rachel_sun Do take warm clothes if you are going to the mountains,they can get chilly.Wear good walking shoes and do not wear shorts because of the thorny vegetation.In the towns pickpockets and purse snatchers are at work and watch out for car thieves.Be careful of fires if camping.Cover your head if walking in the mountains,you will still burn.

 stormy cap by utttz corsica can be stormy... nothing comparing to carribean, but still really annoying... in the pics one of the strangest storm I was caught by.. (and one of my best mistake as skipper)... tha boat is the fantastic Ilaria a 1965 boat... we were going from chiavari to sardinia so on the quiet side of corsica. A huge thunderstorm was preparing just behind us... as soon as I told the crew; 'don't worry... thw wind is going towards the storm: we're on the good side' the wind shifted by 180° and become quite strong (some 55 knots)... after a little while the wind calmed down an huges pieces of ices were falling from the sky... it was the perfect storm you just neded a glass and a bottle of pastis. wait a while for the ice. pour the pastis then wait a minut to have enough water with your pastis. The only care was to repair your head Leave a Comment
