The Mediterranean islands of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily are the stepping stones between Europe and Africa. A mix of Italian, French and Moorish traditions visitors have long been attracted to the contrasting cultures and scenery of these three Mediterranean Islands. Traveler Ian Wright begins his journey on the French Island of Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon, where he enjoys a wealth of outdoor activities. He then sails to the Italian Island of Sardinia to celebrate the S'Ardia festival and witness the fine horsemanship of the locals. Ians final destination is the Island of Sicily where he cooks up a storm with a local pasta chef before ending his journey on top of Stromboli's smoking and lava spitting volcano. Hike a rugged Corsican mountain range. Drive an old Fiat Topolino through the hills of Sardinia. See a wild horse race in a remote mountain community. Work for your passage on a luxury yacht across the Mediterranean. Enjoy the Festival of Saint Rosalia in Sicily as the city comes alive with lights and people are showered with rose petals.

Summary: Sit back,Relax,Explore other Cultures!
Comment: I started to watch this series on PBS_last year.Being a lover of cultural history and travel_these videos are a treat.This was a fun adventure from Corsica,Sicily & Sardinia. However,let me be clear in this Election year 08'_Just because I watch these DVD's of foreign countries_"I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO BE AN EXPERT ON FOREIGN POLICIES OR CULTURES"! But,who knows I can see Mexico from North Texas.
BUY THESE VIDEOS_and check out the Globe Trekker website for more information and great deals!The traditional foods of different cultures to say the least is interesting.I love cooking & enjoying new foods_ BUT_I will not try the EEL-ON-THE-GRILL_wriggling as it cooks_as an appetizer for my next party!NOT!

Summary: Globe trekker
Comment: Not bad if you are interested in this region. We were only interested in Sicily and it is only a very small part of this video.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a glamour shots travelogue
Comment: I loved this DVD and pretty much everything I have seen from the Globe Trekker series. Ian Wright is my favorite traveler. I'd watch him go anywhere! While I sympathize with the other reviewer who wanted to see more beauty shots of the island, I appreciated learning about the history and cultures of these three interesting places. If I am ever fortunate enough to visit the Mediterranean, having information on the language and culture of Corsica and Sardinia will be a lot more helpful than knowing the best place for a kodak moment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sorry I bought it
Comment: I have been to Corsica several times and wanted to buy a DVD that captured this island's beauty, but this DVD doesn't do this. First of all, it's like an amateur video that focuses most of the time in Ian Wright and not in the beautiful places that Corsica has to offer. Second, for someone who has never travel to Corsica it would offer no insight into the island. If I had the opportunity I would return it because we didn't even finish looking at it.
On the other hand, I also bought and would much better recommend: Corsica: Ile de Beauté which gives you the images you expect in a travel video.
