2019 region archive
Sardinia and Corsica are situated in the center of the western Mediterranean. Between them lies the Strait of Bonifacio, which divides the Tyrrhenian and west Mediterranean Seas. Though not far apart, these two islands have significant historical and cultural differences. Corsica was sold to Paris by Genoa in 1769 and exhibits French influence in both language and cuisine. Sardinia is Italy’s largest island, and though there’s much evidence of rustic Italian life, the island has its own distinct character and even its own language. Our itinerary will focus on the northeastern coast of Sardinia and the southern coast of Corsica. This region is ideal for artistic inspiration with emerald green waters, rugged and wild coastlines, notable archaeological sites, and unique cultural traditions.
