Bastia, Cap Corse

Discover the wild beauty of Cap Corse, northern Corsica's dramatic peninsula, on a breathtaking scenic drive from Bastia. Often described as sterile yet incredibly resilient, this storied region has thrived for centuries through the hard work of its people on both land and sea—it was the only area of northern Corsica to remain under the control of the Signori after the 1358 rebellion, and it prospered through trade, exchanging wine for wheat with the Tuscan coast. Along the way, admire the distinctive "case di l'Americani," grand houses built by Corsicans returning from America in the late 18th century. Your journey begins along the Cliff Road, offering unmatched views over Bastia and the coast, before reaching the picturesque village of Miomo and the charming fishing port of Erbalunga, known for its colorful houses and vibrant atmosphere. Crossing to the west coast, you'll take in the marina and striking cliffs of Pino, followed by the sheer cliffside village of Nonza, dominated by a Genovese tower overlooking a vast grey beach. Please note that due to strict bus parking restrictions in Nonza, a stop there can be difficult to arrange during the season; if possible, a brief photo stop will be made to capture the incredible scenery. On the way back toward Bastia, a comfort stop will be made at Patrimonio, well known for its famous wines. The tour concludes with a breathtaking scenic drive back to Bastia, pausing at the panoramic Col de Teghime, where sweeping, awe-inspiring views stretch across both the eastern and western coasts of Corsica—an unforgettable vantage point to savor the island's dramatic landscapes before returning to the ship.

Bastia, Bastia & Taste Of Corsica

Bastia was founded by the Genoese in 1380, when they were looking for a naturally sheltered port to replace the ancient Roman city of Mariana and Biguglia (which had been destroyed by the Corsicans in 1372). The Genoese needed a city and port which could ensure contact between their "homeland" and their "colony." Even if this small port was swept by terrible winds, it was protected by a rock, easily defensible, and upon which a fortress (or bastiglia) was built - and hence the name of the town Bastia. You will be met by your tour guide for a walking visit of the old City and the citadel. During your city tour by foot you will enjoy a stop for a Corsican spuntinu and tasting of Corsican specialties. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring euros.

Bastia, Corsican Tales And Legends

Bastia was founded by the Genoese in 1380, when they were looking for a naturally sheltered port to replace the ancient Roman city of Mariana and Biguglia (which had been destroyed by the Corsicans in 1372). They needed a city and port which could assure the contact between their "Homeland" and their "colony". Even if this small port was swept by terrible winds, it was protected by a rock, easily defensible, and upon which a fortress (or bastiglia) was built - and hence the name of the town Bastia. The numerous religious buildings dotted all over the island bear witness to the profound religious fervor of its inhabitants and their attachment to the Catholic faith. Despite this, the collective consciousness remains steeped in many pagan traditions, with relics of ancient beliefs. The mystical spirit of Corsica finds its true expression during the great Christian festivals, however the barrier between the natural and supernatural world is extremely permeable and Corsica is teeming with visionaries, faith healers, and mediums. This walking tour will take you to some purportedly haunted sites, and give you an overview of the superstitions and local legends which still hold sway. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring Euros. You will have about 30 minutes to shop on your own.

In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history.  A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins-Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.
