Bastia, Corsica, France

Bastia is the principal port of the French island of Corsica. This commercial town is especially famous for its local wines. Main sights include the Museum of Corsica, the former palace of the Genoese governors, which now accommodates a museum of Corsican Ethnography. The fortress with its keep and its 16th-century bell tower protects Terra-Nova and offers great views over the old port, Terra Vecchia, the mountain and the coast. Land Adventures can take you for a casual walking exploration to Erbaluga or further out to Nebbio and St. Florent.
