Day 1: Bastia - L'île Rousse

Pick-Up Rental Car

Upon your arrival, a rental car will be at your disposal for the length of your stay (7 days). Thus, you can move freely and comfortably. On the day of departure, you will drop off the vehicle.

Arrival at Bastia, the dynamic Port Town

The dynamic city of Bastia remains lively year-round and offers a wonderful welcome to Corsica. While it may not have the relaxed charm of its long-term rival Ajaccio and is home to fewer people, it’s much larger to stroll around and has the feel of a genuine lived-in city that refuses to sell its soul just to please the tourists.

Bastia’s historic core consists of two distinct neighborhoods: Terra Vecchia, surrounding the small original harbor; and Terra Nova, the high-walled citadel above. Although those names mean ‘Old Land’ and ‘New Land’, the hilltop fortress is actually much older, built from the 15th century onwards as the stronghold of Bastia’s Genoese overlords. What’s now the Terra Vecchia replaced the tiny fishing village below with a tangle of alleyways, an ensemble of splendidly top-heavy tenement blocks, and some fine churches.

You may want to browse around the abundant colorful markets where cheeses, fish, seafood, cold cuts, honey, olives, wine, and many other regional delicatessens are praised with the typical Corsican loquaciousness.

Make your way independently to l’Ile Rousse (about 2 hours drive)
