Corsica with Simpson Travel Brochure

Corsica with Simpson Travel showcases one of the Mediterranean's most strikingly beautiful islands. Simpson Travel shares a passion for the destinations it offers and the service its customers enjoy, dedicated to providing the type of holiday the company would itself wish to take.

An Island of Dramatic Landscapes

Corsica is described as not so much an island as a range of mountains in the Mediterranean - a spectacular jumble of alpine peaks and rugged rock toppling down through forests of pine, oak and sweet chestnut to an amiable coastline of glorious gulfs, fishing harbours and sickle beaches of soft sand. This French island lies closer to Italy than the Riviera and is endowed with staggering beauty. Within ten minutes of any airport the scenery begins, and not a corner has been spoiled.

Resorts and Things to Do

Resorts that have evolved out of old ports offer a range of expected pleasures, while peace and quiet are never hard to find.

  • Water sports
  • Simple and sophisticated places to eat
  • A fizzy night life for the young and sleepless
  • Pristine beaches and a rich underwater world
  • Lovely wild tracts to walk amid the scent of herbs from the maquis

Natural Beauty and Tranquillity

Beyond the lively ports, Corsica offers pristine beaches, a rich underwater world and wild tracts to explore on foot, where walkers can inhale the intoxicating mix of sea air laced with the scent of herbs from the maquis, the undergrowth that fleeces the island's flanks.
