Product Description
This title features: dynamic new two-colour layout for clear navigation; new magazine style, combining stunning photography, new itineraries and the author's personal take on the country; extensive listings of hotels and restaurants (often far more than other guides) - all personally visited and recommended for a really local flavour; top 'Don't Miss' sights at the start of every regional chapter, plus new 'Author Choices' of personal favourite places to stay and eat; clear, newly-designed two-colour maps throughout for increased ease of use; and, the only guides with full-colour touring maps of the whole region.This title: relaxes on the beaches and tiny, hidden bays, and wanders through the chestnut forests of the Castagniccia; rides the Chemins de fer de la Corse - the marvellous mountain train between Ajaccio and Bastia; takes you through breath-taking mountain scenery to the town of Corte and along the river in the Restonica valley; and, offers an in-depth look at the customs, folklore, and historic aspects of Napoleon's birth place.

I've been to Corsica several times and this latest edition adds real flavour to the Meds most beautiful Island. Even the locals will be surprised at some of the detail in the book. One downside; the only photo is on the front cover so don't expect a lavish stock of photos. Don't let this put you off as if you are a REAL traveller, you can't get better than this book!!

If you are obsessed with history, ancient monuments, architecture and relics this is probably the book for you.
As a tourist guide, to tell what is worth seeing/photographing, i.e the aesthetics, I find it virtually useless. It does give routes, with some warnings about where congestion may occur in the summer and identify some parking spaces, but the rest is generally vague and somewhat inconsistent. Even the restaurant prices are given in Francs, in a used copy which may not be the latest edition but a book with a 2001 copyright.
This review is in the context of having already booked accomodation and wanting to plan a detailed itinerary, with intensive and diverse photography in mind, in advance, this being my standard use of guides over many years.
This was my first experience of the series and, as its emphasis is as distant from my interests as I have found in a guide book, is expected to be the last.
