The harbour Bastia by night, Corsica
The second largest town on the island, Bastia is a busy commercial centre with a population of 50,000. The name Bastia derives from the Corsica Bastiglia, meaning fortress, and today the Citadel and vieux port offer some of the best views of the city. The magnificent Place St. Nicolas is really the heart of the city, and is the perfect place to relax and unwind in one of the many cafes or restaurants overlooking the port. Nearby is the quieter place de Hotel de Ville, where the lively Saturday market is a great place to buy local jams, cheeses, charcuterie and honey. Bastia also has its share of beaches; pebble to the north, sandy to the south with the superb Mariana beach that borders the ornithological reserve of the Pond of Biguglia - a favourite with birdwatchers.
