Where is Corsica located?

Corsica is located in the Mediterranean Sea, southeast of mainland France and west of Italy. The island lies north of Sardinia and has a strategic location between France and Italy, which is reflected in its culture, cuisine and history.

Corsica looks relatively compact on the map, but the high mountains and winding roads mean that distances often feel longer than they seem. This makes the island very suitable for an organised group trip where routes, stops and excursions are planned in advance.
