For those who look for culture on an active holiday, Corsica’s heritage remains intact, the Greeks, Romans, Pisans, Genoese and French have ruled the island over history and have left their mark in the landscapes of Corsica. From the many prehistoric sites including Filitosa, to the Genoese watchtowers that top most of the headlands, Corsica is a dream for all history enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Corsican’s themselves are a people rich in traditions – proud of their heritage, extremely friendly and generous, and with their own language, music and beliefs. The emblem of Corsica is the Moor’s Head or “Tête de Maur” a symbol dating back to medieval times and it can be seen throughout the island on everything from locally produced goods to official buildings and property.
