Haute-Corse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between sea and mountain, Haute-Corse is one of those territories where nature is omnipresent, always more beautiful and majestic. In just half an hour, you can go from the whiteness of a cove with crystal-clear waters and tropical colors, to waterfalls nestled in greenery, then return from the fragrant scent of the maquis to the warmth of the fine golden sand of a paradise beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So don’t hesitate to rent a car<\/a> to set off and discover the most beautiful regions of Haute-Corse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BASTIA AND CAP CORSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stretching between the blue of the sea and the green of the Mountain, Bastia is often a point of arrival for Northern Corsica: arriving by ferry in the early morning is unforgettable, with the sun’s rays lighting up the walls of the citadel and the warm colors enveloping its colorful facades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. You won’t be able to escape a quick stop during the day or evening at Place Saint Nicolas, a place of life and rest, open to the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bastia is both a starting point for holidays and an end, the one that finishes the Isle of Beauty with Cap Corse. Between Saint-Florent and the capital of Haute-Corse, the sea is omnipresent along the Corniche road, alternating between lace-like white coves where the Mediterranean waves nestle, and landscapes of myrtles, brooms, or strawberry trees that overlook the sparkling blue of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The region is magical, bordered by small villages each more picturesque than the last: it’s not for nothing that you find Erbalunga, the favorite village of painters, or the charming little port of Macinaggio, the starting point for boat trips to see dolphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. If you look carefully, you can still find a few well-hidden citron fields, those deliciously acidic citrus fruits that go into the composition of a typical regional liqueur, cedratine, which a few distilleries<\/a> still produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Obviously, take the time to make a few stops to admire the sunset over Cap Corse or to go swimming at the end of the island on one of the most beautiful beaches at the tip of the island, Barcaggio Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. LA BALAGNE AND THE WESTERN COAST<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7. La Balagne\u2026 there’s a mythical name that has made thousands of travelers dream, as this region stretching from the mouth of the Regino to the escarpments of Monte Cinto is in itself a small condensed version of Corsica. Between the citadel of Calvi and Saint-Florent, it is a rich land, where you find the island’s main agricultural productions, such as the renowned Corsican olive oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Sheltered from the wind by the high mountain peaks, this region of the Conca d’Oro and the hillsides of Nebbiu also contains part of the Corsican vineyard, around the small village of Patrimonio, renowned for its wines and its AOC muscats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Apart from these fine sandy beaches, the Gulf of Saint-Florent region reveals some wonders, notably the Agriates desert which can be visited on foot, by car, by mountain bike, or even\u2026 by boat from Saint-Florent, with 35\/40 km of coastline and some of the most beautiful paradise beaches on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. The most courageous will devote a full day of walking to the Coastal Path, which follows the jagged coast between Saint-Florent and Ostriconi: breathtaking landscapes guaranteed\u2026 provided you have good breath and good physical condition, that is! The less courageous will settle for following the Customs Officers’ Path to reach, in an hour’s walk from Saint-Florent, one of the most beautiful beaches in Haute-Corse, that of Saleccia<\/a>, whose transparent water will invite you to contemplation and a well-deserved swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
