Due to the island&#8217;s ties with the Italian peninsula, there are resemblances to the Italian culture seen throughout Corsica to this day- mainly the native Corsican language which has a strong likeness to Italian.<\/p>\n<p>The Moor&#8217;s head has become the emblem of Corsica and can be found on flags, boats and properties around the island, and is worn by all Corsican political parties to represent a statement of pride in their country. In recent years Corsica has become very sparsely populated and the capital Ajaccio has only a population of 65,000. The islands locals are somewhat protective over it&#8217;s heritage which makes Corsica an incredibly authentic holiday destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"crea w-container\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/arthaudyachting\/14march2017\/map.png\" alt=\"|\" title=\"|\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ghhh2\">The Best Places To Visit In Corsica<\/h2>\n<p class=\"bl ttetx\">Situated between la Balagne and St Florent, this stunning area of natural beauty include a number of deserted beaches including Saleccia and Loto.
