Corsica has become one of Europe's hottest summer destinations, a popular gateway for all types of holidaymakers.
Lucy White, editor of the Rough Guide to Corsica, said: "Corsica can be both a luxurious, expensive getaway or a more down-to-earth, physical experience offering great activities."
The Island of Beauty's summer weather is perfect for beach holidays, while its coasts and mountains offer unforgettable canyoning, mountain biking, horse riding, trekking and Via Ferrata experiences for the thrill-seekers.
The island's most famous and most strenuous trek is the GR20, covering the entire length of the island from north to south.
