Bastia, Vieux port de Bastia
Bastia's Vieux Port is one of Corsica's most atmospheric harbours, a tight, colourful basin ringed by tall Genoese-style townhouses painted in faded ochres and terracottas. You can book a berth online and tie up right in the heart of the old town, with fresh seafood restaurants and café terraces literally steps from the quayside. The combination of working fishing boats, mountain backdrop and Mediterranean light makes this one of the most characterful stopovers on the island.
