General information:
This is a 2 boot, 7 night, independent walking holiday that starts off in the mountains and finishes off on the coast.
You will have the opportunity to visit beautiful villages, medieval castles and prehistoric sites on the first half of the holiday and then white sandy beaches, turquoise sea and unspoilt natural forests on the 2nd part of the holiday.
Location:
From the sea to the mountains! Your holiday begins with a spectacular ride
through the hills and valleys into the striking interior of southern Corsica
and to the village of Zonza. There are wonderful views; the stunning
Aiguilles de Bavella mountains are just short distance away, and a lovely
walk there makes a great start to your holiday.
The subsequent walks take you through the very heart of pine-scented
forests, ancient villages and fertile valleys. You wend your way down
maquis-covered slopes towards the coast and the clear turquoise waters of
the Mediterranean.
Your holiday ends in chic and vibrant Ajaccio, with its historic old town
and impressive curved bay. You can take a boat trip, or a final walk, or
just watch the world go by.
Who would this holiday appeal to?
Anyone who likes peace and quiet, mountains and coast, and is happy to walk every day. Clients who have visited France and/or Italy, as it has influences from both. Corsica is the Mediterranean island with the shortest flight time from UK.
Similar to which other holidays?

Possibility of non-standard departures?
