The Mediterranean island with over 200 beaches and holiday deals from £313pp

IF you're unsure whether to head to France or Italy for your next holiday, this Mediterranean island might be the answer.

In Corsica, you'll find more than 200 beaches and the perfect blend of Italian and French culture.

Thanks to its pleasant weather, Corsica is a great destination to visit all year round.

However, summer might be the best time to visit if you're after a summer holiday that's not too far away.

Usually, temperatures see highs of 30C between May and September, while in the winter, the average temperature is around 12C.

That being said, the island has hundreds of days of sunshine throughout the year, so it is still a fabulous choice for a winter getaway.

Plus, getting to the island from the UK is also relatively easy, with plenty of direct flights and an average flight time of two hours.

Once you get to Corsica, you'll find many activities to do and plenty of things to see.

The island has more than 200 beaches in its 620 miles of coastline.

Some of the most popular beaches include Santa Giulia Beach, Palombaggia Beach and Saleccia Beach.

Nature lovers can explore the lovely towns of Bonifacio and Calvi or head to The Scandola Natural Reserve, which is a UNESCO heritage site.

Another must-see is the 'Calanques de Piana', which are ochre cliffs made of red rock with spectacular sea views.

The Calanques are situated in Piana, in the Gulf of Porto, between Ajaccio and Calvi.

Once you're done exploring, you'll have to tuck into the famous food on the island.
