Yet there are many others sites, and a multitude of cultural treasures, to be discovered as well: prehistoric and Roman sites, Genovese towers, Romanesque and Gothic churches, picturesque villages, museums and  craftsmen's shops (cutlery, pottery, marquetry, essential oils).  Corsica's culinary delights: charcuterie, cheeses, wines, olive oil, chestnuts, honey...
