Corsica

The island of Corsica is famous for its resorts, but it is also characterized by its varied topography, including steep mountains and cliffy coasts. One of the highlights of the island is the towns that are integrated with the terrain. The fortresses that were built during the Genoese rule in the Middle Ages to guard against enemy invasion are now impressive symbols that welcome tourists.
