Description
Bastia is a city on the French island of Corsica.
Access
From Bastia Airport, a bus runs almost every hour for €8 – timetable at the tourist information desk at the airport.
Transportation
By boat
There are several national and international ferry routes from Bastia, to Ajaccio (Corsica), Genoa (Italy), Marseille, Nice, Livorno (Italy) and Savona. It is very busy during the summer, and it is always best to book early.
Activities and Sightseeing
The Vieux Port ('Old Port') is a wonderful part of the city. Tall, faded buildings surround a marina with posh yachts. There's certainly something of the 'shabby chic' about the place.
Restaurants
One great location to eat is in one of the many restaurants in the Vieux Port. Most specialise in seafood.
- Le Jean Bart, Telephone: 04 95 31 36 31. For wonderful moules-frites and puddings.
