Frequently asked questions

What is the distance between Corsica and Sardinia?

The distance between Corsica and Sardinia is a topic of interest for many, especially for those travelling between these two Mediterranean islands. Corsica, belonging to France, and Sardinia, part of Italy, are separated by the Strait of the Straits of Bonifacio. This strait is one of the most fascinating and treacherous sea passages in the Mediterranean due to its strong currents and often intense winds. The minimum distance between the two islands is about 7 nautical miles. This point is located between Cape Pertusato in Corsica and Punta Falcone in Sardinia.

The Straits of Bonifacio not only physically separate the two islands, but also serve as a cultural and historical link. Indeed, over the centuries, there has been a continuous exchange between the local populations. Today, several ferry companies operate regularly between the ports of Santa Teresa Gallura in Sardinia and Bonifacio in Corsica, such as Ichnusa Lines, facilitating the transit of people and goods. Knowing the distance and geographical characteristics of the strait is essential for anyone planning a trip or an in-depth study of the region.
