SOUTHERN CORSICA

SOUTHERN CORSICA: THE STRENGTH AND BEAUTY OF A LAND OF CHARACTER

From Ajaccio to Bonifacio, the south of the island is distinguished by riches, authenticity, and a strong personality travelling through this very mixed landscape is an adventure as much as it is a journey.
SOUTHERN CORSICA

‘On Corsica, I was given life', said Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in Ajaccio. Nature has endowed Southern Corsica with sumptuous landscapes, where mountains, cliffs, idyllic beaches, and reddish creeks compete for favour. It is a magical place, where the smells, colours, and tastes remain anchored in the memory of travellers. Allow yourself to be imbued with Corsica by closing your eyes and letting the distinctive smell of the maquis overtake you; let your eyes get lost in the blue of the bay of Porto-Vecchio or the Lavezzi islands; hear men sing of love in a small picturesque village church in Sartene.
The island offers a multitude of activities to discover and desires to be met. The sporty may dive into the clear waters of the best beaches of the island at Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, or in the mountains, in the emerald green basins of natural pools; hikers can discover the many iconic landscapes of Southern Corsica, like the Aiguilles de Bavella or the forest of Ospedale; lovers of wildlife and flora can rent a boat to venture out to the Scandola Nature Reserve; divers can explore the exceptional richness of the seabed, while food lovers taste the diversity of Corsican charcuterie and cheese. History buffs can discover Ajaccio and then head to Bonifacio, set on imposing cliffs. Beautiful in all seasons, Southern Corsica can be visited any time of the year. As a couple, or with friends, escape to this small Mediterranean paradise, which combines tradition and pleasure in equal measures.

Solomon Islands To the east of the island of Guinea are the Solomon Islands, a group of more than one thousand islands. About eighty of them hold most of the population of more than a half a million. The island of  Guadalcanal  was the site of some of the fiercest fighting in World War II between Japan and the United States. Honiara, the capital city, is on Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands were a colony of Great Britain but gained independence in 1978. Colonialism, World War II, and ethnic conflict on the islands created serious centrifugal cultural forces, divisions, and political tensions over the past few decades. In 2003, military and police troops from other islands and Australia intervened to restore order after ethnic tension erupted into civil unrest. Shifting tectonic plates are the source of environmental problems. Active seismic activity has created earthquakes and tsunami conditions that have brought devastation to the region.

Traveling to Ireland

Traveling to Ireland: breweries and pubs, castles and lakes, flowering gardens and luxurious architecture. Anyone who thinks that in Ireland, in addition to cheerful beer houses, there is nothing to see, he is greatly mistaken. Of course, the cult of beer and pubs is pronounced here, but this is not the only property of the Irish. Almost all the main attractions of the country are located in the territory of its capital Dublin or not far from it.  In Dublin, bypassing the topic of pubs still does not work out, since they are here at every turn, and two identical ones cannot be found. Names, stained glass, collections of beer, details of interior decoration are everywhere different. In addition to the interesting interior and beer, the traditional Irish pub is the sound of a violin, guitar and bagpipes.  But the pubs can be left for the evening, visiting the Guinness Brewery or visiting an entire pub quarter, and in the afternoon you can begin exploring other attractio...
