Welcome to Bastia
Bastia's narrow streets, whose colors play with the reflections of the sun, possess an authentic Baroque charm. Its Old Port is a gentle invitation to simple pleasures, to be savored early in the morning, such as enjoying a coffee on a terrace while watching for the return of the fishermen. The pedestrianized Citadelle offers visitors a peaceful stroll.
