WINDY BEAUTY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Korsika...Corsica...or Corse - how the natives call their beautiful island. This place is definitely one of my all time favorites! Not only because of the wonderful beaches - but because: it has it all! Mountains, dreamy little cities, lovely bars and restaurants.

I've only been there twice but I would always go back! As soon as you arrive in Corsica you'll notice that this island is one of the last, that hasn't been occupied by thousands of tourists yet. That's one of the reasons why you seriously can become one with the breathtaking nature around you! 

So just relax and unwind while you look at my following photo diary! Enjoy! :) 


I bet you have seen this picture before! If you don't know what I'm talking about...it's the picture in my header..hahaha. The city shown is called Bastia. Most of the ferries arrive there. 



This is just one example of how the beaches look like here in Corsica. 


Look at how clear the water is!


Just one example of old buildings dipped in romantic summer evening light. 


This picture was taken in Bonifacio. That's a really cute city on the far south of the island. Bonifacio has it's own haven and a lot of beautiful little restaurants and cafés. If you walk up to the citadel you have a beautiful view over the never ending sea and a couple of really cool looking cliffs! Starting there, you have a lot of opportunities to go shopping or to just stroll around. 




You might also see this place along your way. That's actually a cemetery - but I've never seen such a beautiful one before! 


Those pictures are examples of cute little cafés and restaurants in Porto-Veccio...or at least somewhere close. 

 


You'll see hundreds of small churches and many citadels.


As you can see on the following pictures: You will be confronted with the beauty of the nature!






If you actually decide to spend your vacation on Corsica, you should definitely also visit the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse and the Monte Cinto! Not only the beaches are worth looking at but the beautiful landscapes in the middle of Corsica. If you are lucky, you will probably get the chance to shower under a small waterfall. 



There's also a big variety of hiking tours you can do! 

 

Sometimes you might take a glance at lakes...
 


Along your way you will see a lot of tiny cities - which could have also been on the cover of travel magazines or postcards.


Sadly, I don't really remember where these two pictures were taken...but I like them anyways :) 



The last three pictures are from a market in Ajaccio - the capital city of Corsica. If you look beforehand, you'll be able to visit a lot of these all over my - and maybe soonish your - favorite island. 



I hope I could some of you convince to spend their next summer on Corsica! But seriously?! Isn't it beautiful over there?

WHERE I WOULD RATHER BE

Everybody seems to be on vacation - but ME! Even my parents and my little sister are leaving this friday to travel to Fuerteventura and I'm actually kind of afraid that I will get bored! Who thought I would say something like this some day? :D  Sadly I have to stay at home this year because we got cats somebody has to look after. Even though they are the cutest! - I'm very jealous of everybody being able to visit beautiful places all over the planet! 

So what am I doing right now? I'm looking at old pictures from our vacation in 2012. Probably not the best way to get through this extreme feeling of wanderlust but it definitely helps to bring back some beautiful memories...hahaha! 

Here are some of the pictures I didn't want you to miss out on: 











I still remember this summer for being one of the hottest ever! - but exploring the old cities of Croatia was so worth it! Moreover, this summer was one to remember! That's because I was there when I found out more about my hostfamily :)
