Villas in Bastia

Located on the northeast of the island, this commercial port city is the second largest city after Ajaccio and sits at the base of Cap Corse. The twin towers of St Jean Baptiste Cathedral dominates the skyline. The old port is lined with bars and restaurants, serving the celebrated wines of Cape Corse that are made in the region. There are two main beaches in this area, one is pebbly and located in the town centre and can become crowded in the summer months. The more relaxing and sandy beach of Plage de l’Arinella extends along the length of the east coast of Corsica, perfect for sand castle building or taking a board out for a surf! For history lovers the Terra Nova, a centuries old citadel, built by the earlier Genoese rulers, sits facing the sea overlooking Italy in the distance.
