People say that Corsica is the most mountainous, the greenest, the most varied and the most beautiful region of France. Anyone talking about Corsica soon has to accept that the use of superlatives is unavoidable. Its geography, topography and natural heritage give Corsica a clear advantage over all the other islands in the Mediterranean.
Corsica has outstanding tourism assets in its moderate Mediterranean climate, beautiful scenery and its magnificent coastline. The island’s network of tarred roads is adequate, and a railway links Ajaccio, Bastia, and Calvi. It was the Greeks, after all, good judges of islands, who named it "Kalliste", the most beautiful.
