Including a practical language chapter with a section on Corsican, this guide provides the lowdown to the island's cuisine, history and accommodation. There are also hints on where to sample tasty... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought the Lonely Planet book after I fell for a different guide to Corsica that had pretty maps and colorful pictures but was disappointing. This other guide really wasn't giving me the kind of information I wanted. I read the whole thing and was still unclear about which towns in Corsica I wanted to visit. The Lonely Planet guide gave better details and after reading it, I knew clearly where to go. So, fall for the books with color pictures! The Lonely Planet book has great suggestions for restaurants, hotels, and easy hikes. I could only find information on the GR20 in the other book, but the Lonely Planet guide had suggestions for less hard core hikers.
A very good guide

I was traveling in Corsica summer 2001. I had bought this guide and the Insight guide about Corsica. Together they was a very good match.LP's book have a good diving and walking section. The walking section covers the famous GR20 route in particular. The diving section contains a lot about the diving possibilities and where the best dives are.There are a lot of small villages in Corsica. Many of them is not mentioned in LP. So don't forget to explore.
