The scent of wild herbs mingles with the aroma of
olive trees, orange groves, vineyards, and flowers
to produce a Corsican perfume that can be detected
even at sea.

Maquis is the scrubland that abounds on Corsica. A calanque is a natural harbor lying in a cleft in the high hills of the coast — safe havens for sailors since ancient times and dramatically beautiful. You'll find picturesque villages, crystal-clear water, and your choice of splendid cruising itineraries. Sail the east coast of Corsica, with its ancient towns and cathedrals; circumnavigate the island; or visit Italy's Tascan Islands.

Corsican food is excellent. What else would you expect from a French island of the coast of Italy? The wines are solid and colorful. The smoked ham, salamis, and sausages are spicy and delicious. Fish and shellfish are abundant. There is excellent cruising in Corsica May through September, with sunny, warm, dry weather. Winds are variable throughout the season.
