10 Day Corsica Itinerary Suggestions Appreciated!

Regarding hikes- we did a very nice hike an easy short drive from Corte- from Restonica to Lac de Melu. There were a few places where you had to scramble a bit and pull yourself up with chains but overall not extremely difficult. The hiking in that area is lovely.

If you want something longer, there's the full GR20 which is meant to be beautiful but quite challenging: https://gr20.co.uk/. You can also look at doing parts of it.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for all of this information! It’s very helpful. We had been debating whether to reduce the number of stays. It seems like combining Saint Florent and Ill Rousse would make the most sense?

We are flying into Bastia and out of Figari. It seems like maybe you went in and out of Calvi?

So we are mapping our itinerary north to south. We don’t arrive until late on the first day. Would it makes sense to have 5 nights / 4 full days based in Saint Florent eliminating stay in Ill Rousse but still exploring that area as day trips — then going to middle for 2 nights then Bonafacio for 3 nights / 2 days (alt would be to take a day from the north and add to Bonafacio)? Unfortunately, the hotel you recommend is not available for our dates.

Appreciate your insights!

Again, thank you very much for all the detailed information. It is very useful as we’re thinking through our options. You now have us considering whether we stay on the West Coast or stay with the plan to go inland to Corte for 2 nights between north and south. With our number of days, it seems that we must pick one or the other. Your photos from the West Coast looks stunning and are very much what we like… things to think about!
