Often called an island within an island, the Cap Corse is a maquis covered peninsula whose history sets it apart from the rest of the island.
Forty kilometres long and only fifteen across, the rocky peninsula of Cap Corse gives access to some exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt stretches of coast. Villages perched on cliffs and secluded rocky inlets line the west; tiny fishing ports and sandy coves fringe the east. Enjoy some coastal walks along the rugged northern coast of the Cap Corse. Inland, and to the north, the village of Luri, surrounded by lemon trees and vineyards, hosts an annual wine fair at the beginning of July with winemakers from throughout Corsica proudly presenting their wares.
