About the Local Area

ABOUT AREA

It is the largest of the Costa Verde offering a perfect place from which to explore the coastline. Due to its wetter climate the region is one of the most fertile areas, and boasts many vineyards and fruit farms producing lemons, clementines, kiwis and other citrus fruits.

BEACHES

THINGS TO SEE & DO

Visit Bastia
The old town of Bastia lies south of Place St Nicolas and surrounds the old port which should not be missed. It is overlooked by the high honey coloured Genoese Citadel (quite a climb) and bustles with harbour side bars and restaurants. Wander through the old streets behind the old port to find the Place du Marché where there is a local farmers market each morning.

Castagniccia
Going eastwards from Corté, over the mountain ridge that separates the Tavignano and Golo rivers, lies the very fertile region of the Castagniccia (literally meaning “small chestnut grove”), wherein lies over 100km² of primarily sweet chestnut forests. On a clear day, the altitude affords views over the Tuscan Islands and occasionally, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible.

Cap Corse
On the west of Cap Corse, narrow roads wind above a dramatically serrated coastline, dotted with little coves, whilst the sea washes on the rocks below and woods and maquis outline the peaks above. A complete circuit of the Cap Corse will take you about four hours (without stops) and we recommend that you always drive in a clockwise direction so that you are always in the inside lane (the road can be narrow and winding and the drops are precipitous and rather scary!).

Erbalunga
Just past Bastia, approx 1hr drive, the fishing port of Erbalunga on the eastern coast clings to a little jagged promontory, opal waves slapping against gaudy fishing boats. The pedestrianised village has many cafés and restaurants and a Genoese tower on the headland and is the home of a Jazz festival in August.
