Corsica Sardinia

7 days in Corsica & Sardinia

If you are visiting the French Riviera and island-hopping is your thing, Corsica and Sardinia are a must-do. Separated by the Bonifacio, the islands are only 11 km (6.8 miles) apart, sitting off the Italian and French coasts. Both possess sparkling Mediterranean waters, colorful histories, outdoor adventures, and vibrant towns, but they also offer two distinct holiday experiences: Corsica being French and Sardinia being Italian. Corsica is known as the ‘Island of Beauty’ due to its dramatic coastline, lush mountains, and plunging cliffs. Visit for breathtaking natural beauty, hilltop villages, boutiques, and glitzy yacht-filled harbors with some of the best diving and snorkeling in the Med. Travel down to Sardinia, which is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean to see its glistening beaches, ancient history, eccentric festivals, incredible hikes and glamorous seaside resorts.
