The gateway to Corsica is most often Bastia. It’s a picture-postcard start to your holiday: in the old port, boats bob against a backdrop of colourful houses, punctuated by the tall silhouette of the Church of Saint Baptiste.
Bastia is also the starting point for a pretty route through Cap Corse, an ‘island on the island’ that stretches into the Mediterranean like a finger for 40 kilometres. Between the sea and the mountains – the central ridge of the Serra rises to 1,307 metres – the road boasts sublime views: villages perched above the sea, beaches nestled in coves, and Genoese towers highlighting the horizon.
