CARAVANING CORSICA - an organized RV expedition to the island of Napoleon and the pristine beaches of Europe

The Isle of Beauty - as it is often called - is located west of Italy and southeast of France, of which it has been a part for more than 250 years. Separated by the Strait of St. Boniface from neighboring Sardinia to the south, it is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean, uplifted by granite and contrasting limestone to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above sea level, with the famous GR20, waterfalls, picturesque cliffs, atmospheric towns, beautiful and pristine beaches, including the Plage de Santa Giulia. It was also the birthplace of one of the greatest leaders in human history - Napoleon Bonaparte.

Corsica is one of Europe's most visited islands - millions of TripAdvisor users named it one of the 10 most attractive destinations on the Old Continent in 2015.

A proposal for an organized caravanning expedition by campervans and touring cars in a touring formula in a group of several vehicles to the French island of Corsica, a distance of about 4 thousand kilometers and a total scheduled time of 16 days, under the care and guidance of an experienced pilot and regular visitor to the island.

WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL AND FOR WHOM?

It is a tourist trip, by definition, focused on getting to know the country, interesting places and local culture. Another of the 4-wheel stationary tour formula implemented in this destination. Participants travel in a group, spending organized time under the supervision of a pilot/guide, and free time according to their own preferences, nurturing good relationships and supporting each other. The main emphasis of the organization is on selecting destinations with high tourist appeal, ensuring a balance between travel time and stationary time, and creating conditions for establishing good relationships between participants, while taking care to maintain the expected privacy.

And Corsica is the most mountainous of the Mediterranean islands, and has held an honorable place on the list of places with the most beautiful landscapes for quite some time, with its stunning beaches, crystal clear sea and beautiful mountains. It is one of the last - largely wild - places in France. A dream destination for both beachgoers and active vacations. Corsican towns are intimate, one might say - atmospheric, the cuisine on the island delights with a wealth of flavors.

The 12-day exploration of the island is a proposal suitable for all those who dream of distant travel, but do not have the experience and time necessary to organize such a trip well. For all those who feel much more comfortable in the assistance of someone who will guide, advise, help, organize, communicate, literally - cushion and let you enjoy the time and place, let you fully relax by taking over the responsibilities of organization.
