1.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Corsica, 3 Jun 2005

By	"arbaxter47" - See all my reviews

Most disapponting. Subsequently bought the Rough Guide and found it much more illuminating - not to mention 200 pages longer! The Lonely Planet was perfunctory by comparison and merely skimmed the surface. It contained far fewer recommended walks, for instance, and completely failed to mention what is apparently the most spectacular approach to the island's highest mountain Monte Cinto or day walks in the remote Niolo and Asco valleys. The authors are also contradictory in their assessments. In one section, St Florent is described as a delightful resort worth visiting but another suggested readers get out of town as quickly as possible to avoid the well-heeled yachting fraternity. And the Rough Guide tone was much more appealing. It appeared to have been written by someone who genuinely enjoyed the island but didn't pull any punches when pointing out its drawbacks (crowds in July & August, asbestos on the beach at Nonza, etc). It apeared the Lonely Planet author, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get the first plane home.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GR20 Walkers Review of the Corsica LP Guide, 21 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet : Corsica (Paperback)

The group I was in went to Corsica with the main intention of walking the famous GR20. The section of the book about the walk was excellent with detailed information about each days walk, and useful advice about what gear to bring. We found most timings, and suggestions about what gear neccesary to err on the 'safe side'. So someone following the advice here should be ok. Where we did enter civilisation, the info about (budget) restaurants and places to say was fine in our experience. This guide contributed to a great holiday!

4.0 out of 5 stars Corsica Lonely Planet, 5 Jul 2009

By	Mrs. Amanda L. Kellagher (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lonely Planet : Corsica (Paperback)

Although this edition is 10 years old we found the information reliable and the maps very helpful. We did quite a bit of driving and some walking (were only in Corsica for 3 days) and did not need to buy any other maps
