Sardinia or Corscia? The verdict!

Crazily Captivating Corsica  We had another 3 day weekend to visit Corsica and while we would have liked to explore various towns and beaches of the island, we really wanted to visit Calvi. The flights into Calvi were considerably expensive, few, and far between. We ended up finding a great flight deal to Bastia so we decided to fly into Bastia Poretta airport, renting a car and driving to Calvi instead. We would have needed the car anyways to visit some of the beaches on our list. Even though the drive was only a little more than an hour we would essentially be driving from the north east end of the island all the way across to the north west of the island. We figured it would be a nice way to see more of the island, given our time constraint.

Sardinia or Corsica? Why Choose?

When deciding on our Spring/early Summer beach holiday we could not decide between Italy's Sardinia & France's Corsica. We had heard so much about both islands. After endless research and discussions we decided we'll do weekend getaways to both a month apart :P Yes, it was THAT hard to pick. It is amazing how these two islands like two siblings are so similar yet so different in so many ways. Here's hoping that our experience and this two part blog makes your choice a little easier.
