Hi Gemma
Thank you for booking our holiday – Corsica is the BEST kept secret!! We had wonderful time from the moment we got to Manchester Airport – where there was a Corsican Places member of staff directing us to the check-in! The fly-be flight was very good – upon landing in Calvi we were greeted by another rep and shown to the transfer bus. We were staying in Calvi which is 10 mins from the airport.
Our accommodation was excellent and there was a bag of Corsican groceries waiting for us which was a nice surprise –wine, cheese, meats bread, tea, coffee. The apartment was very well equipped.
Calvi was beautiful – so clean and a lovely sandy beach. The harbour was very picturesque and we enjoyed looking at the expensive boats in the evening. We ate out most nights and there were lots of restaurants – prices similar to the UK – food all very good – they are keen to promote local food and products so no fast food chains thankfully!
We took the train along the coast to Ile Rousse one day which was a lovely little town. We hired a car for 3 days and went to St Floret one day, down the coast to Galeria where we hired Kayaks (6euros for an hour and had a great experience kayaking up the Fango delta which is a natural conservation area to see wildlife – you have to be silent!) on the third day we went inland to Ponte Leccia and John and Ellie went climbing on a Via Ferrata in the Asco Valley.
We wished we were there for 2 weeks! And we want to go again next year so will be in touch about dates nearer the time!!
Thanks again Gemma Clare
