CORSICA CORSE
Mare a Mare Sud - from coast to coast south Tips: A
low cost airlines flight to Marseille, the bus to town center, a half-hour
walk to the harbour, and with the night ferry (12 hours) to Ajaccio. 45
minutes after arrival of the ferry - so, next day - there is a bus going to
the other site of the island, to Porto Vecchio and it’s here the way-marked
route “ Mare a Mare Sud “ begins. From coast to coast, from sea to sea. You also can fly directly. The route is of an unique beauty and well marked (
orange stripes). Maps:
La Carte Touristique Locale nr.74 , scale 1:100.000. Accommodation:
Some Gites d’étappe are closed until April, but with a little
improvisation you find a place to sleep and eat. In early spring we walked in very nice temperatures;
while walking on the beach , lying under palm trees, you can see the snow in
the mountains. March
