5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Overall Guide on Corsica so Far,
By Outbound Liz (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Corsica - Edition 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
An essential resource with something for all: beach goers, outdoor enthusiasts, culture seekers, sightseers and nature lovers.
Printed in two colors with helpful highlighted text boxes and easy to read detailed maps, the rough guide lists every range of accommodations from campsites to high-end hotels and includes numerous outdoor activities from magnificent coastal walks to an entire section, several pages long, devoted to the GR20, one of Europe's most challenging long distance hikes. When driving to unknown locations, I just copy the pages containing the maps I need and carry them with me. Includes background information on history, culture, wildlife, interesting anecdotes and a language guide on the back.
