RV rental near Bastia

Why we love this city

Refusing to sell out for tourism’s sake, Bastia rises between the sea and the mountain as a city of authentic living, carefree sun-basking, and lighthearted hiking.

For a swoop of authenticity and a satisfying change of pace, Bastia is just the Corsican city your travel doctor would recommend. Here, the living is easy and has an unmistakable local flair. Squares fill with people enjoying their crisp Corsican wine with freshly caught seafood (staples in Bastia!) and daydreamers gulping delicious amber chestnut beer before siesta. Afternoon nap time is, by the way, a part of the day taken most seriously on the island. There are no special treatments for tourists landing here, but there are various special sights and things to do. Thanks to its beautiful surroundings and blessed natural preserves, Bastia is a hiker’s godsend. Casual strollers are also guaranteed not to get bored, as the small, yet bountiful city has loads of hidden gems across its streets: Baroque churches with pebble mosaics, a historical citadel, well-preserved old houses, and new colourful residences are all within walking distance. But what are we talking about? You should already be swimming in Bastia’s pristine sea and lounging on its white brochure-perfect beaches. Hire a campervan in Bastia and get on with the locals. Everything else will follow naturally. Just like Bastia does.
