Bastia is Corsica’s second city and the capital of Haute-Corse. The old town is a delightful maze of narrow streets and alleyways, hemmed in by the impressive ramparts of the citadel. The port is a hive of activity, with boats coming and going and locals and visitors alike enjoying a coffee or a drink in one of the many cafes and bars. The beaches of Calvi and Saint-Florent are a short drive away, and the mountains are just a stone’s throw from the city. There’s a good range of shops, bars and restaurants, and the locals are welcoming and friendly. Bastia is the perfect base for exploring all that Corsica has to offer.
