I%26#39;m planning to fly to Corsica from Paris. I can fly into Ajaccio, Calvi, Bastia or Figari. I%26#39;ll be travelling solo so I%26#39;d prefer not to rent a car--don%26#39;t think I%26#39;d be comfortable driving without a companion. For a solo traveler interested in nice beaches (I like calm, clear water), casual hiking, cultural/historic attractions and nightlife which area of Corsica would be the best starting point? I plan to stay for 4-5 nights. Since I won%26#39;t be renting a car I%26#39;ll have to rely on taxis, buses and trains (which I understand are limited in service). I%26#39;d be grateful for any suggestions! I leave for Paris next week.

You%26#39;ll see that iof you look at previous contributions on the Corsica forum that it is virtuall impossible to get around without a car. I wouldn%26#39;t worry about driving without a companion - they%26#39;ll be plenty to occupy your mind negotiating the roads!!
If you really are fixed on public transport only, I guess Calvi would be the best option, if only because of the coastal tramway between there and L%26#39;ile Rousse which would enable you to visit lots of different beaches. You might also pick up a local tour to the Haute Balagne. You will have to get a taxi from and to the airport.

Just back from 2 weeks around Corsica. I went with my own car and the ferry from Toulon.
However in your case I would still suggest to rent a car (rent one with automatic gear). It is indeed very difficult to travel around otherwise. Wud suggest Ajaccio as you can easely drive to Porto area which is gorgeous. Take a boat trip overthere to Scandola.
It is correct that roads are turning a lot, simply drive a bit slower. The view are simply great. Worthwhile to rent a car!
