Bastia

Bastia is a beautiful city with a great waterfront and marina alongside a very busy port. We explored all the churches and public places and loved the citadel with its spectacular views.


The Genoese governor’s palace is a spectacular building and the adjacent square now contains a large number of outdoor restaurants.

We sail tomorrow to visit Elba but as a number of ferries are not running we have to go via Livorno but this will conclude our Napoleonic saga.
