  Even though an important part of France, the region of Corsica has got a unique exceptional character and it's local people are generally proud of their island's background and distinctive customs. The island is found in the sun-drenched Mediterranean sea, about 40 minutes flight from southern France, and 50 miles off the coast of Italy, please remember that the island can be reached both by ferry and airplane from both countries.
  
  Through the centuries, Corsica has been lived on by both ancient Romans and the Greeks, but in more recent history by the republic of Genoa. It has been a part of France ever since 1768 and enjoys a particular constitutional status. Because the island enjoys lots of success as a top end tourist location in France, you might experience that the key beaches and tourist spots are fairly crowded in the month of August. The usual offering of watersports can be enjoyed on the island's beaches, and some of the best diving spots on the planet are there.
  
  Even though the island enjoys success as a destination, it has not entirely succumbed to mass tourism like other island destinations in the Mediterranean. Most of Corsica is and will be unspoilt; The island is so effectively guarded that it has 5 national parks and an international park in the sea in between Sardinia and Corsica. Corsica is filled with mountains, there are more than a hundred or so mountains higher than 2 kms. Hiking is a extremely popular activity activity on the island, the biggest and most recognized of them all is the famous GR20 hike, the average hiker spends about 2 weeks on this path.
  
  Corsica has been described as the smallest continent in the world because of its diverseness, if you go the the more wild interior of the island you will find what the locals call the real Corsica with wonderful nature and hospitality, one town that is certainly worth going to is Sartene which is referred to as the most Corsican of them all. Ajaccio is the capital of the island and birthplace of emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonifacio also has a vibrant waterfront area, as well as an atmospheric medieval quarter, Bastia is a place a lot of people enter into the island from in a ferry from Italy, the town of well worth visiting and offers a unique athmosphere.
  
  Generally the cuisine and wines are first class wheresoever you go, the cuisine is a mix of local meals, Italian style and French style due to the unique location. Pork dishes are popular and yummy, produced from the meat of the semi-wild pigs that wander the island, chestnut flower is another thing that the Corsicans like to make use of a lot to prepare food with. Lamb seasoned with natural herbs, the sausages made from wild boar and strong scented cheese are something not to be missed. Corsica is well known for its tasty olive oil, local lager beer, and last but not least the wine that grows all over the island and has been made for 3000 years.
