Bastia is, in many ways, the most important municipality on the island of Corsica - it’s the main port, the second-largest city behind Ajaccio, and the most important commercial town on the island. It’s also a centre of wine production, which is particularly good news for any oenophiles who happen to visit. As you sail into Bastia, the front of the town rises in front of you, introducing you to a city with splendid architecture - the Church of Ste. Marie is one of the first things you will see on your arrival - and the hotels and restaurants that line the promenade are excellent places to try out some of the delicious seafood dishes for which Bastia is famed.
