Description: Corsica, the "Mountain in the Sea," is the island of a thousand frissons, a world of such staggering natural beauty that all the usual rules are relaxed. Here white or blood-red cliffs plummet a sheer thousand feet into the sea; granite pinnacles claw at the sun; hill towns teeter over gorges; palm-lined sandy beaches have jagged snowy peaks for a backdrop. Side by side with its voluptuous Mediterranean beauty, Corsica, as small as it is, has character in spades. This guide includes practical travel advice; over 300 hand-picked places to stay; dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes; 22 maps and site plans; color touring-map section; stunning color photography; the best walks, diving and beaches.
