Ajaccio Holidays Resort Guide

Ajaccio, Corsica is the capital of the island and is situated on the west coast, backed by some of the famous green Corsica hills. Ajaccio holidays offer great variety for all types of tourist, with beaches for sunbathing and plenty of beautiful countryside for people who want to spend their holidays to Ajaccio hiking. Ajaccio weather is typical of the region, but not quite as warm as some of the more southern Mediterranean islands, making it ideal for people who can’t quite put up with scorching temperatures.

The weather in Ajaccio enjoys 300 days of sunshine in a typical year, with peak season temperatures averaging around 28 to 30 degrees Celsius. The difference between Corsica holidays and those of other islands in the Mediterranean is the greenery as a result of the many microclimates on the mountainous island. Thanks to the differing altitudes on Corsica, patches of rain are reasonably common, allowing plant life to flourish, and making the island very beautiful and green as a result.
