The Genoese port city: baroque churches and the Vieux-Port.
: Journey :
3 h from Ajaccio · jet to Poretta
Bastia is Corsica's working heart: a Genoese port whose baroque churches, ochre façades and crowded Vieux-Port give it an authentically Italian character quite distinct from the south. FFGR Corsica meets patrons at Bastia-Poretta Airport and chauffeurs the Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova quarters, the citadelle and the Place Saint-Nicolas. The city is the natural base for Cap Corse and the eastern vineyards of Patrimonio. We arrange private tastings at the Clos Nicrosi and Domaine Gentile estates, harbour-side dinners overlooking the fishing boats, and onward transfers along the cape's coastal corniche: one of the Mediterranean's great drives.
