From Openwaterpedia
The 180 km Odyssée Méditerranée course in the Mediterranean Sea from Corsica to Monaco to be attempted by Noam Yaron between 17-31 August 2024
Corsica is a mountainous island in the Mediterranean Sea with a mix of stylish coastal towns, dense forest and craggy peaks (Monte Cinto is the highest). Its beaches range from busy Pietracorbara to remote Saleccia and Rondinara. It's been part of France since 1768, but retains a distinct Italian culture.
