Corsica

General
Corsica is an island of the south of France and is tagged the Island of Beauty. It has a Mediterranean climate and varied terrain from beaches to mountain peas of 8,900 feet.

Towns and Cities
Main towns in Corsica are Bastia (Haute-Corse) and Ajaccio (Course du Sud)
Access
Corsia is 100 miles south of the French Riviera so probably the best way to get there from the UK is directly by plane. Currently air prices are quite expensive.

Places of Interest
Besides the two main towns there are plenty of beaches to laze on. If you are feeling more energetic there are forests, mountains, and rivers.


Things to do
Corsica is one of a few selected regions of France where it makes more sense to go sightseeing rather than laze by all day by the pool. You can go on tours, or hire a car. Of course, if you prefer to relax then there are plenty of beaches to choose from!

Property
Corsica is one of the more expensive regions of France.

Property Investment Value
If you intend buying a property as an investment then then you may make money as Corsica does attract tourists. If it is a purely financial decision however you may be better off buying a property in the French Alps since there is not only tourism all the year round, but the area is well served by air, and already is popular with British tourists.

Cuisine
As with other areas of France the Corsica has its own cuisine with a Mediterranean touch.



To Conclude
Corsica is a lovely island. Properties are on the expensive side, and it will cost you money to travel backwards and forth to the UK. Saying that, if you are looking for a house in the sun, and have money to spend, it could be the place for you.
