The northern half of Corsica or Haute-Corse is as geographically diverse as it is beautiful.
Cap Corse is the northern peninsula which boasts valleys, mountains, sandy beaches and spectacular views. To the west is the coast around Calvi, where crystal clear waters & sandy beaches are backed by the snow-capped peak of Monte Cinto.
Between Monte Cinto and the sea is the fertile land of Balagne which gives way to the desert area to the east of the stunning Ile Rousse.
The port of Calvi and the citadel town of Bastia are popular destinations in the north. Bastia is one of Corsica's main hubs and dons a distinctly Italiente feel with the old port retaining much of its original authentic charm.
