Are you visiting Bastia and wondering what you can discover? Discover our must-sees in this pretty Corsican town<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve often been told that Bastia isn’t a pretty town, but I wanted to make up my own mind and I don’t regret having stopped there at all. I found it very similar to Italian towns: aged, colorful facades, a historic citadel, charming squares, narrow streets, a relief layout and beautiful architecture. Bastia has a singular authenticity unlike any other Corsican town.<\/p>\n

It is also the ideal starting point for discovering Cap Corse and the Agriates desert (40 minutes by car), as the town has a port where ferries arrive from Marseille<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, Toulon and Nice, as well as an airport. The city isn’t very big, but you’ll need a good long day to explore it on foot, especially if you want to do a bit of shopping, stop off at charming caf\u00e9s or restaurants and take a leisurely stroll.<\/p>\n
