Corsica trip from mid to late October

Hi,

My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon in France and are very interested in making a stop in Corsica from October 20-25. The island looks like it has much to offer in beauty and outdoor activities but we are wondering if we will be visiting too late in the year and many restaurants and hotels will be closed.

Has anyone else been to Corsica in late October? I%26#39;ve already called a couple hotels and found that they close in September or mid October. Do you have any suggestions of the best place to stay during our late October time frame?

We of course do not mind missing the tourist crowds but want to make sure that we are not staying in a ghost town with nowhere to eat or grab a beer with a view.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Matt

Hey Matt - I%26#39;ve never been to corsica in october but it should be the rainiest time of the year. That%26#39;s what you should care about - guess getting a hotel even in october is not a problem ( although as you mentioned, a lot of them will be closed - but of course not the bigger ones )

If you can make it to corsica in september, that would be much more perfect - the weather is still stable and warm - the sea%26#39;s still at a comfortable temperature -not so many tourists any more but everything%26#39;s still open!

Towns which i can recommend from my visit in may ( this year ):

* St. Florent: good for a walk to fantastic beaches - get yourself a hiking-guide first

* Calvi: 1 hour away from St. Florent - although on the west coast - take the train to Ile Rousse and back - just for fun and for the view ( track goes along the coast )

* Bonifacio: A must to see - try a boat tour to see all the beauty of this own from ship-view

*Porto Vecchio: Not because of the town itself, but because of it%26#39;s beautiful beaches in the near surroundings and because of the mountainous outback which is great ( Col De Bavella )

And - hey, it%26#39;s your honeymoon - so don%26#39;t risk 5 rainy october days - there%26#39;s a chance that the weather is stable, even in august - but you know about chances - can go wrong aswell :)

... in the last sentence i ( of course ) mean: october and not august ( as i wrote )

If you have anymore questions, don%26#39;t hesitate and write!
