Port of Bastia

Bastia is one of the most important cities of Corsica and therefore also has one of the most important ports of the island. Every day hundreds of cargo ships and travellers come into this French territory. You can always see huge ships that impress. In this area there is a great avenue from which you can enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean, by foot you can reach the most beautiful part of the port, where there are hundreds of small boats moored. Here you can see all kinds of ships, from small sailboats to small boats that depart every day to sea in search of fish. Around this area there are many cafes and restaurants that have a very cozy terraces from which you can enjoy spectacular views.

Not to be missed! The old port, livened by its many bars and restaurants, is part of the centre of Bastia, a city of sailors and merchants, which gives an idea of ​​the port's importance and the life that revolves around it. I spent a nice time here, walking at different times of day and seeing the different lights that bathe the harbour. Later in the evening it's especially beautiful. I recommend walking a full tour around the harbour, which will offer very different perspectives of the Citadel that rises on the sea, the Romieu garden, colourful buildings and the church of San Juan Bautista with its bell towers overlooking the port.
