How big is Corsica?
The island itself is about 115 miles long by 55 miles wide, but it is dissected by a mountain range known as the Corsican Penine way, so travelling around can take longer than you might expect – allow about an hour for 50km of driving. The island covers an area of about 5,500 square miles, and is the third largest island in the Mediterranean with about 600 miles of coastline.
