CORSICA TRAVEL GUIDE - 8 beautiful spots on the island
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Corsica is a place I believe goes a little under the radar when it comes to popular holidays destinations in Europe. It’s not lacking in beautiful scenery, so whether you’re visiting Corsica to relax on its sandy shores and bathe in the clear turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, or planning on hiking the great granite peaks that dominate the inland, there’s plenty to see that will make a return visit a must.
After visiting this stunning island a number of times over the years, and most recently for a month in July 2019, I decided to make a travel guide taking you through 8 of my favourite spots on the island.
There's a reason Corsica is also known as the "Isle of Beauty", and hopefully you'll understand why once you've watched this video!

I was there 10 years ago and found the love of my life. I am now 31 and we are still together. Brings back so many memory's
are you Ranbir from the movie tamasha? in case you're not see the movie you might find yourself in it :)
I met a beautiful French girl in SF her grandparents and family own alot around Bastia, down to castellar di casinca and vescovato and everything in between, even a strip of la plague. The only magical energy place I've visited on this planet. Tu me manques ma Belle Corse. RIP André Polidori 1/04/2022
I worked there for a season. One of the best summers of my life. Didn’t know what to expect & was blown away.
@@lockheedmartincomapny he might be Ranbir ;)
Gosh I miss corsica sooo much. I was there in 2007 and 2011. First time we travelled everything around the north, east and south. Second time we stayed in Porto and travelled along the Calanches de Piana and hiked to Capo Rosso which was pretty exhausting but fun :) Thanks for the beautiful video. I am no longer able to go because of an illness I have but maybe one day. Would be a dream to come true :)
I went up to Monte Rotondo!
I visit Corsica every year since I was born. Every part of the island is unique and few kilometres you can find unique places very different from one to the other
Best video about Corsica on RUclips. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words!
I was there 19 years a go corsica is a very good island..... I miss corsica.....
Kenny - Your work is at the highest level. Mixing drone and hand-held is so effective and yields a truly professional product. And of course it doesn't hurt to have nerves of steel on those rock ledges. I too am a videographer and have been to Corsica. Your video profiles are the "next best thing" to being there. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the kind words Kevin!
Corsica ist der schönste Urlaubsort für mich!
This is exactly the type of video I was looking for to help me plan our family vaca!
Glad it helped! 😄
Thank you for your video, Kenny. This place looks stunning!
Thanks for the video, it was gorgeous. Cant wait to go!
Corsica is the best! Thanks for upload!
This seems to be such a charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Great content Kent! Those shades of blue are surreal man.
Cheers mate! And sorry I forgot to send you it, but really appreciate you coming on and searching for it anyway! 🙌
Magnifique !! Thank you for creating such an awesome content 😍
Thank you Felicia! Really appreciate the kind words 🙏
excellent guide dude! looking forward to visiting here soon
Really appreciate it Brendan! Hope you manage to get over there eventually when the world gets back to normal
We will go to Korsika this year!! I’m so exited 🤩🤩🤩😍🥺
Two days to go 😊. Very excited to meet this place, looks amazing
Beautiful spots, indeed!
loved the commentary and video, excellent thank you.
Thank you, these places are so cool. I am going to Corsica in August and i really needed some suggestions for places to visit.
very nice video, i don't understand why it doesn't have more views. Great editing, music etc!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And fingers crossed it picks up more in time 😂
I was about to say the same thing!! At least it was the first video listed when I typed in "trip to Corisca" 👍
Awesome video! Hope I get to see these places on my own next week. Thank you!
Jealous! Enjoy
Ce frumos ,,!!!! A cum 12 ani am vizitat-o Minunată insulă,,,
I hope I can go this july
I hope you can as well! Can't imagine how many people planned to go this year but couldn't...
I will go from June to July... Where are you from? I hope the night curfew will be ended
Do you know Natura 2000? it is the area we will be walking that has exotic marina birds and fauna. We will also be on a snorkeling expedition next month right in Corsica. Thanks for the marvelous tour.
Wanderful views I like corsica
Visa is my Place to Stay and the Scoppa ROSSA HOTEL,I went to Aiaccio and Calvi and Porto and the Sanguiners Rocks And Le Calanche and the Col de Vero!Splendid!
This is beautiful, wish to visit soon
Thanks so much! I hope you do as well, from what I've heard most things are still running as expected despite the effect COVID has had on tourism!
i’m going to corsica in 9 days! i’m very excited, great video!
Me too 🎉
I guess you'll be there now then, hope you're having a great time!
Great video ! Thanks ! I have always dreamed of going to Corsica ! The natural moutain water slides look wonderful! I bet the water was cold ! Did you learn any 'Corsu' ? ,, and try the local speciality food ?
Appreciate the kind words! The rock pools in the mountains are one of my favourite parts about Corsica, I used to visit them loads as a child so have fond memories of them. Afraid I'm not that adventurous when it comes to trying new kinds of food, so no
😂
I really hope you'll go visit the North part and make another list ! There's just too many places to see and enjoy.
I want to say goodbye to Corona and hello to Corsica, it is # 1 on my Euro travel list. Please send DeBlasio elsewhere! Sam
@Sam Hageman is that you? Remember me? Im anfisa
@@madalina6781 From where? Not sure I remember but Corsica is 2022!
Thank you...😊❤️
thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by! 🙏
Quantos lugares maravilhosos!
Great visit card, Kenny, I was there also and stil see new and new places to look. PLease, what a drone and camera do you use? I wish you many more happy amazing trips! Richard
It says in the description
Thanks Oko! And yes all info in the description, but the camera body is a Nikon D3400 and drone is a first series Mavic Pro
Wow!!! Stunning. Thank you. What city would fly into?
Nicely done!
Appreciate it Angus!
Awesome video!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it 😃
@@KennyC no worries. We really enjoy making outdoor content as well
yes good
Did you have something like a license to be able to fly your drone there?
Hey bro - very nice video and good info :) Can you also recomend what village/town to stay in while visiting Corsica? Was thinking to stay in Bonefacio but perhaps it's just too touristy? I would like a calm spot with great views and good food :)
Really appreciate it mate! Somewhere I didn't mention in the video at all is Porto Vecchio. It's not as picturesque as Bonifacio (but then I think you'd struggle to find a place that is), but it's a little bigger and the old town centre has a lot going, especially in the evenings in peak season. The town is also very close to Palombaggia beach, #3 in the video! Definitely worth looking into though
Awesome will check it out, thanks :)
Why not Belgùde(Belgodère) ? It's in the north near Calvi kinda isolated in the mountains with amazing views of the valley and the sea, btw there's almost no tourist at all in Belgodère and it's very calm so if you wanna visit northern Corsica you can definitely visit.It's also very small and there's not many people maybe around 600 and there's not many things to see in it except the views, the amazing people and also Losari beach that also have an ancient genoan tower. Anyways I hope this can help you.
Lumio is a very pretty town in the mountains
Hi, we will be visiting Corsica this July, would you suggest getting a rental car? Or is there busses that can take us to the different beaches? Thank you for your video it was very informative
I would definitely get a rental car! A lot of the beaches I've been to during my time there aren't connected to public transport networks, at least in my experience. You'd be really limiting what you could see if you were relying on buses all the time!
wow 😍 we are there next week! do you have coordinate for the sunset spot? thanks 😘
Yep! Pop these into Google and you'll find it, or check the link in the description where I've plotted each location on a map 😊 41.49554219726715, 8.928680969111769
Where did you stay when traveling to these spots? I want to see the Cascades de P!
Hi Thomas, I stayed in a villa near Palombaggia, in a small hamlet on top of one of the nearby hills called Porra!
Superbe ! Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de traduction des commentaires !
Basically don't do anything in this video if you want to live. Seriously though cool video - beautiful.
Depressing watching this a day before school starts :(
I feel for you!
It's not expensive to eat just go supermarket and go eat on the beach 😊 trust me you save loads of money and just way way better and more chilled and feels cool but yeh
I only know corsica cause of Napoleon
Your video is great! In May I planned to go back to Sardinia with a motorcycle ( an RT ) but after seeing your video..I changed my plan and decided to go to Corsica instead.
I have my own youtube channel, do you have any tips on how to increase my subscribers and views?
Thanks for sharing your travel videos 😊

That's so nice to hear! You won't regret it! I haven't uploaded any content in a couple of years now, but my main recommendation would be to create pieces of content that are going to help out other people. I created plenty of 'highlight reels' from some of my trips, but besides looking nice they don't really do anything. They're a great way for me to remember my own experiences, but anyone else watching wasn't actually there, so isn't going to feel that same nostalgia you do. Instead, they're likely on RUclips because they're trying to plan their own holiday/trip, and so help them do that by providing commentary like do's and don'ts, where to go and where to avoid, how much you spent to give them an idea on the overall cost etc. Hope that helps!
4:30 how high is that? Can you jump in?
Yeah I reckon you could - the water was deep, but the reason I didn't was because I was there by myself, and getting back up to that point would take a while so I didn't want to leave my stuff lying about in the open
I want to go, but if I do, I will be alone, any tips? :(
I’ll come with you, if u pay for all
Expensive of course!
Corsica is just so beautiful everywhere. The west and south coasts are spectacular. The west coast is a bit wilder, the surf is stronger. Porto is a nice place there. At the east coast the surf is little milder. Calvi is a beautiful little city in the north west, and Bonifacio in the South. Porto Veccio and Sartene are very picturesque little cities. Corsica is also great for hiking. It's difficult to tell you where to go, because there is so much to see everywhere. A tip: You could try to take the "Fiery Elias", a little, kind of funny train riding close to the beach from Calvi to Ile Rousse
I live in Corsica island. if you need any information
any must sees in calvi? x

What are the locals like?
I've definitely been to places where the locals are more welcoming, but so long as you're nice to them they'll be nice back!
This is only the South of Corsica. Why are there no locations in the North mentioned?
Because I didn’t travel to the north - that’s literally what I explain at the beginning of the video
Mate, you need an audio compressor on your voice. Its level fluctuates too much.

if your the only one, whats stopping you from skinny dipping
i mean i would
On what side of the country we’re you?
The south! All of these locations are towards the bottom of the island
Corsica is not a country but a part of France
@@lilmoonlly In my opinion it should be a part of Italy
@@LogMapping2006 Well it's not. South of France and Italy is similar. Just bc Corsica and its cities reminds you of italy doesn't mean it should be Italian. Corsica is French and will always be
@@lilmoonlly Geez I said in my opinion, no need to take it so personally
Hidden gem? Millions of tourists... Every place overbooked a year in advance...
Yes it can be busy in peak times, but the tourist footfall per year for Corsica is far less than other European 'island' holiday destinations, like Mallorca, Tenerife, Ibiza, Crete, Rhodes, Sicily, Sardinia and Cyprus.
It might be more well known in some regions of Europe than others (like France and Italy) but if you ask the average person in somewhere like the UK whether they've heard of Corsica, 9 times out of 10 they'll say no. Ask them about any of the above islands listed, and I bet it's a different story.
my only issue with corisca is that it's more expensive to fly to than similar islands.
I'm living in Paris and I can go to mallorca (similar type of island) for less than half the price. I can even go to madeira/canary islands for less and they are much better islands closer to Hawaii type vibes.
Going to most greek islands costs just as much as well.
tu compares une ile ac +100 sommets a +2000 metres d altitude accompagnés de +50 lacs a la meme altitude , monte cintu 2700m altitude . de cette altitude tu vois la mer méditerranée au loin , c est unique . la corse regorge de riviere comme on peut voir dans la video , a bavella . ajoute a ca les centaines de plages .. donc tu compares la corse avec des iles plates ou il ya que des plages ? xd sacré rigolo , t as pas du saisir on pourquoi on parle de l ile de beauté et d une montagne dans la mer ...continuez de voyager dans vos iles poubelles toute pleine de plastique .
They speak French there?
They mostly speak a language called Corsican, which is basically Italian 🇮🇹
@@LogMapping2006 only a tiny percentage of the island speak Corsican. It’s predominantly French. I’ve visited the island 20 or so times, each for a week or more in duration, and only once did I ever hear anyone speaking Corsican.
Corsican is spoken mostly by the older generation amongst themselves. Its 100% French. (My family is from there)
You talk about hiking up steep rocks to enjoy a sunset, but don’t explain how someone is going to cope with climbing down this perilous eyrie in semi darkness.
Take a torch if you're that concerned
Corsica is the italian Donbass 🇮🇹 a piece of France who will return to the motherland
Boy stfu it's French and will stay French. Say that it's Italian to a Corsican and they will kill you
@@lilmoonlly I think you're taking it too seriously
Some (or many) of them may not feel French but do not ever say to a Corsican that he/she is Italian 😂
Viva le emperror Napoleon
Di Calvi !
Shhhh! Best kept secret of France. There is no place like it. Little tip, if you rent a car, smaller is better especially in the north. And be careful of the “wild life” on the roads! 🐮 🐐 🐗🐴🐏
