Good Travel Guide!

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.
