corsica
White cliffs, azure lagoons, ultramarine blue skies and soaring mountains all welcome you to this Mediterranean island that has been a preferred retreat of celebrities since the 1950s. Not quite France and not Italy, either, Corsica’s spellbinding idiosyncrasies are one-of-a-kind. Where else do high granite peaks dazzle with wondrous rock formations and a glimpse of sea below? It is a place almost outside of time: rich and complex, beautiful, tempting and ineffably different.
