Corsica is that unicorn of a destination, a place that is breathtakingly beautiful, yet almost completely “undiscovered” by the general population. It’s a wonderfully romantic island, with steep winding roads, mountainous terrain, and crystal clear turquoise waters – everything you would expect from the center of the Mediterranean Sea.
How to Get to Porto-Vecchio
A direct flight from Paris takes only one and a half hours, and regional service to the south of mainland France is even quicker!
