Cap Corse (Capo Corso), Corsica, France 2018
Cap Corse in the far north of the island of Corsica is only 25 miles long and nine miles wide, but the winding rounds means driving anywhere takes longer than you might think. It takes around four hours to make a complete circuit. Of course, you’ll have to add in plenty of time for regular stops as you spot a particularly enchanting hilltop village, a pretty little fishing port or a secluded sandy cove.
Most people like to drive around the peninsula in an anti-clockwise direction, starting in Bastia and ending in St Florent. This is because of the direction of the sun, with the coastal scenery looking its best on the east coast in the morning and on the west coast later in the day. It’s worth noting that in one day you won’t have time to visit Bastia or possibly not even St Florent, but the scenery on this stunning part of the island is more than reward enough.
