What is most striking, unlike other European islands, lies in the difference in the colors of nature. Here they take on a more decisive and lively tone. The sea is never a single color, even on the grayest days you will be able to perfectly admire the different shades.

The island can be reached by plane via the Figari Sud Corse airport, that of Calvi Sainte-Catherine or that of Bastia Poretta Corsica. By ship it can be reached via connections with Bastia, while with Calvi only on certain days of the week.
