Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Corsica is not only famous for being the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, it is also known for offering visitors some of the most stunning landscapes in the Mediterranean.
You'll have the good fortune of experiencing Corsica's rugged beauty during this half-day, guided tour. You'll be greeted at the pier by a friendly and knowledgeable guide who will join you aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned motorcoach. From here you will be transported away from your port city and deep into the dramatic interior of the island.
Travel along winding roads past lush, verdant countryside en route to the Cricheto Pass, a magnificent mountain pass located 2,870 feet above sea level. Step off your motorcoach and step aboard a charming, little wheel train (a tram made to look like a small train). This open-air trolley tram will take you on a 45-minute, ride through the wild, gorgeous landscape.
Your guide will point out the flora and fauna of the area as you pass through a majestic sun-dappled chestnut forest. Learn about the macchia, a mixture of evergreen herbs comprised of rock rose, Corsican mint and myrtle that is found throughout the island. Take a deep breath and experience the aroma of this chaparral that is so fragrant, Napoleon is said to have been able to recognize "his" island with his nose. In fact, locals use extracts from these flowers and plants to create popular perfumes and aromatherapy products that are sold around the world. Enjoy views of man-made Tolla lake.
You've taken in the sights, sounds, and smells of Corsica, so naturally it's time to experience a "taste" of the island as well. Your next stop is a visit to a local honey farm where you will learn all about production of sweet, unique Corsican honey. With a climate that allows bees to gather honey all year from hundreds of the island's wildflowers, there is naturally a wide variety of flavors. And you'll get a chance to sample some of them during the course of your tour.
With all your senses satisfied, you can sit back and relax on your scenic return drive to Ajaccio and your ship.
