Corsica is a French island situated in the Mediterranean Sea and is known for its beautiful coastline of more than two hundred beaches. With its position in the North of the Mediterranean, getting to Corsica by ferry is quick and easy and whether you choose to sail from France or Italy, there’s a huge selection of ferry routes to choose from with ports in each corner of the island. Departures from France are available from the ports of Toulon, Nice and Marseille. Crossings operate daily, year round, and increase with demand around peak season. Crossings from Italy depart the ports of Savona and Genoa in the north and Livorno and Piombino on the west coast of Italy. As with the crossings from France, due to Corsica’s popularity as a destination, there are year round connections to the island, increasing during the summer period. In additions, there is also a ferry crossing bridging the short gap to Sardinia, south of Corsica. The majority of ferry passengers arrive by car, though vehicles can be rented from most port towns. The island has a well-connected road network which will allow you to take any one of the number of smooth roads along the coastline to reach the stunning beaches and sheltered coves, getting off the tourist track. Impossible to miss during your visit are the sandy beaches with their crystal clear waters. Many of the beaches offer a range of activities like volley ball, surfing, yachting, canoeing, skiing, banana boat rides, fishing and more.
Italy’s third largest island, Elba makes up the majority of the Tuscan Archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Napoleon’s exile to Elba originally put the island on the map, but today, tourists come here for the incredibly clear and blue waters, stunning beaches and outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking across the beautiful terrain. Also, as part of the largest marine park in Europe, it’s a great spot for diving, with an abundance of rich sea beds and colourful fish. Some of the top attractions include the numerous archaeological museums, impressive battlements and fortresses and the beautiful former residences of Napoleon, Palazzina dei Mulini. Elba has a few ports in the northwest region, so it’s within easy reach by ferry from mainland Italy and the surrounding islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. There are plenty of ferry operators to choose from, all offering fast and regular crossings.
