Bastia

A Corsican port with a strong identity, Bastia blends Genoese heritage with spectacular coastal landscapes. The Old Harbour, lined with colorful facades and fishing boats, serves the districts of Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova, where narrow streets and Baroque churches stand beside the Citadel and the Governor's Palace. Nearby, Arinella Beach is perfect for families and paddleboarding, while the rocky coves of Toga are ideal for snorkeling. Kayaking allows you to explore the surrounding cliffs, and the Cardo hills offer views over the Mediterranean and terraced vineyards. Further north, Cap Corse and the Désert des Agriates reveal panoramic trails, wild beaches and preserved natural reserves.
