    Korzikai útiterv: Látnivalók és tennivalók

    Az ókori görögök Korzika káprázatos türkizkék öbleibe hajóztak, és a szigetet „Kallisténak”, azaz a Legszebbnek nevezték. Henri Matisse „csodálatos földnek” tartotta, ahol „minden szín, minden fény”. Tengerparti sziklákkal és barlangokkal, csipkézett hegyekkel, fenséges szurdokokkal és napsütötte fehér homokos strandokkal áldott sziget tele van olyan tájakkal, amelyek egy fotós lencséjét is elolvasztanák.

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - corsica travel beach

    Corsica is an island of many micro-regions, and over the course of a half-day you can travel from lush and forested mountains, to rocky gorges, to coves of sparkling sea and soft sand. It can be your Alps, your Adirondacks and your Aruba. 

    Part of France, but still harboring a fierce sense of independence, Corsica has sometimes seemed isolated. But these days, rising tides of European vacationers and the jet-setters that the French call “Les Beautiful People” are washing up in the medieval harbor towns and modem beach bars.

    Take note: Crime in Corsica is the worst in France. Here’s what you need to know.

    Első nap

    Arrival in Corsica

    If you arrive via ferry, you’ll want to book a ticket to Porto-Vecchio . Here’s more information about the Corsica Ferries and other ways to get to Corsica.

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - Corsica ferries itinerary 1

    From Porto-Vecchio, drive 30 minutes to Bonifacio for lunch. You may want to stop at a winery along the way. The wine district of Porto-Vecchio mingles with landscapes of beach and pine forests, and shouldn’t be missed.

    Bonifacio

    Korzikai útiterv: Látnivalók és tennivalók – Korzikai útikalauz 1
    Bonifacio

    It’s said that Ulysses and his men took shelter in the cliff-lined port town of Bonifacio , Korzika déli csücskében. Gyönyörködjön az évszázados fellegvár és a drámai kikötő látványában, és ebédeljen az éttermekkel teli rakparton.

    Immense chalk-white cliffs, horizontally grooved like a geological mille-feuille, will dwarf the boat as it cuts through water the color of Curacao liqueur. At sea level, enormous grottoes open darkly in the cliff walls and wind-eroded rock formations sprout mysteriously from the sea. To view the spectacular cliffs and grottoes nearby, buy tickets at one of the kiosks here and, if you’re not already bored of being on a boat, spend an hour on a tour boat, perhaps the Gina vagy the Corsaire.

    The Beaches

    Santa Giulia

    Afterward, drive north up the coast about 20 minutes to stop in at the Tahitiesque beaches of Santa Giulia and Palombaggia , ahová a kényelmes utazók járnak bronzbarnára barnulni.

    Porto-Vecchio

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - Travel Itinerary Corsica Bonifacio 1

    The nexus of VIP action is the beach town of Porto-Vecchio A festői régi kikötőt abban az időben építették, amikor Korzikát Genova uralta, és sokáig áhított rusztikus 16. századi épületeiről. Ma a nyári esték Korzika éjszakai életének Mekkájává változtatják a várost.

    On cafe terraces, air kisses flutter like fireflies –“Ciao!” “Bonsoir!” “Hola!”– and glasses fill with rose from the nearby Domaine de Torraccia vineyard vagy korzikai Pietra sör, gesztenyével ízesítve.

    If you can get a reservation, have dinner at one of the Belvedere’s kültéri asztaloknál, majd kövesd a zene ütemét az egyik klub előtti bárban, ahol kültéri DJ-k játszanak.

    Nightlife

    If night clubs are your thing, head to La Via Notte the island’s nocturnal temple. The scale is enormous, bombastic, as if Napoleon himself had ordered it. Five bars and a restaurant spread over multiple levels and pavilions. Inside the D.J. booth, three men operate long flashing control panels as if trying to pilot a rock and funk and fusion hip-hop spaceship. Go-go dancers grind on platforms as streaks of laser light shoot past. The club is a favorite of French soccer stars and film personalities, and to woo them, it flies in big names from the international D.J. circuit.

    Második nap

    Inland Mountains & Corte

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - Citadelle de Corte corsica itinerary
    corte, inland corsica

    After breakfast, drive about 1 hour and 45 minutes up the coast and then inland to Corte and discover inland Corsica.

    When Americans think of Corsica, they probably picture what it and other Mediterranean islands are known for most: seaside resort towns. And yes, Corsica owes much of its reputation to postcard-perfect beaches that seem almost Caribbean with their white sand and sapphire water. Towns like Bonifacio, with its towering citadel and buzzing waterfront cafes, or Porto-Vecchio, with its yacht-filled harbor and night club scene, have become Corsica’s better-known destinations.

    But another Corsica lies tucked behind the mountains that many visitors only glimpse from their beach towels. This is wild Corsica. Soaring mountain ranges with peaks as craggy as a set of broken teeth scrape the sky. Streams of rushing river water slice through deep gorges where boulders the size of cars rim the shores of perfectly still lakes. It’s the perfect place to spend a few hours hiking amung the roaming sheep and wild pigs.

    Autóút közben számos borászat és szőlőültetvény mellett halad el. Valójában a szőlőültetvények gyakorlatilag Korzika teljes területét elfoglalják.

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - Foret Calvi corsica
    inland corsica

    Amikor megérkezel Corte-ba, észre fogod venni, hogy a kirakatok hagyományos finomságokkal – sajttal, mézzel, borral – hívogatnak, és jó néhány falat graffitik borítanak, amelyek Korzika függetlenségét követelő szlogeneket kiabálnak. A kávézókban idős férfiak beszélgetnek a korzikai anyanyelven.

    Corte was the island’s capital during its lone flicker of independence, from 1755 to 1769. Its leader then, Pascal Paoli, is a local deity. His name adorns the university he founded (the only one on the island), the main street, and even the sweet shop on the main square, as well as Place Paoli , maga a tér. A közepén szobor formájában él tovább, egy jól öltözött felvilágosodás kori úriember, intenzív tekintettel.

    Gaffory square in Corte, Corsica

    In Gaffory square you will discover the birth house of Jean-Pierre Gaffory, the leader of the Nationalist Government of Corsica in the middle of the 18th century. He led a successful revolution against the Genoese before being assassinated. On his house’s facade, you can see many holes, attributed to bullets fired during the revolution. In front of the house, you can also find a statue of Gaffory, built to honor his memory.

    On the square, you will discover a few bars and restaurants as well as the Church of the Annunciation . It was built in the 15th century, and has a huge bell tower dominating the whole town.

    Corsican Cuisine

    Classic Corsican wines and foods are on sale at La Vieille Cave , and you could pick up some gourmet goodies and have a picnic. If you feel like being served, have lunch at the terrace restaurant U San Teofalu and order a three-course Corsican menu, which includes a charcuterie and cheese plate, grilled trout, and dessert. Oysters are also a (more sustainable) specialty of the area and make a great snack with a glass of French white wine.

    Corsican History Museum

    For a crash course in the history and cultural traditions of Corsica, visit the Musee de la Corse a város feletti magaslaton, ahol a város régi fellegvára áll. A modern épületben található múzeum Korzika egyedi kultúrájának történetét meséli el – népi hagyományait, kézművességét és történelmét.

    A row of soundproof booths allows visitors to listen to the unusual native music, group singing in an Old World polyphonic style. The songs, in the Corsican language, sound somewhere between Gregorian chant and folk ballads. Behind the museum, a viewing platform looks out over a mountain valley.

    Calvi

    calvi, corsica

    Back in the car, drive about 50 miles on a good highway to the city of Calvi on the northwest coast. On the way, stop at Vava’u Chez Tate tengerparti harapnivalóért.

    In Calvi, a medieval hilltop citadel A tengerből emelkednek a hegyek, a régi utcák pedig macskaköves utcák hálózát alkotják. Sétáljon egyet sötétedés előtt, és élvezze a környezet sokoldalú szépségét. A város egy magaslaton fekszik egy kanyargós öböl, a Calvi-öböl végén. A kikötőben vidámparki hajók horgonyoznak, és egy hosszú homokos strand öleli körül az áttetsző türkizkék tengert. Mindössze egy tucat mérfölddel a szárazföld belsejében hófödte hegyek magasodnak az ég felé.

    Fedezze fel Calvi utcáit, ahol minden kanyarban száműzöttek, felfedezők és renegátok leselkednek. A Rue de Fil egyik régi háza, amely ma már rom, egyesek szerint Kolumbusz Kristóf valódi szülőhelye (az ő idejében Calvi a Genovai Köztársaság része volt). A közelben, Keresztelő Szent János temploma mellett található a Maison Pacciola, egy kis épület, ahol Napóleon a korzikai nacionalisták elől rejtőzött a francia forradalom alatt.

    The town of Calvi has become a music destination, sponsoring international festivals celebrating “Calvi on the Rocks” electronic music in July, and polyphonic vocal music in September. If you’re not attending the festivals, you’ll want to avoid the town during these dates. You can check our Events Calendar for the dates.

    Dinner & DJ’s

    Corsica Itinerary: What To See & Do - calvi on the rocks corsica

    For fashionable beachside dining, the white villa-like Octopussy restaurant jazzes riffeket játszik korzikai alapanyagokból, mint például dinnyét korzikai sonkával és sült tőkehalat articsókával. Az Octopussy strandklubhoz kapcsolódik, ahol a napozók sütkéreznek, és néha DJ-k is zenét játszanak.

    Another option is Chez Tao , egy Tao Kerefoff nevű volt orosz katonatiszt által 1935-ben alapított éjszakai klub. Az orosz forradalom elől New Yorkba menekült, ahol Felix Jusupov herceg, a Raszputyin elleni összeesküvők egyike rábeszélte, hogy menjen Calviba. Klubja még mindig megtelik esténként stílusos szezonális menekültekkel Párizsból, Londonból és más fővárosokból.

    Harmadik nap

    Reggel reggelizz a tengerparton, majd döntsd el, hogy egy tengerparti sétára vagy egy szárazföldi túrára vágysz-e.

    Bonifatu Forest (Serious Hiking)
