Car Hire in Bastia Toga- Corsica - Mini guide to Bastia Toga- Corsica

Bastia is a commune located on the island of Corsica. It is a town known for its fine wines and its successful seaport which is, in terms of traffic, the number one Mediterranean port and the second French port. The region is rich in history and Bastia is considered to be the most Corsican town on the island, richer in the traditions of Corsica than its southern neighbor Ajaccio. Bastia also boasts beautiful scenery and fine wines.

Corsican history is alive and well in Bastia and there are many old churches dating back to the 15th century when the area was under Genoese rule. There is also a baroque church which is one of the few churches in Christendom that does not offer sanctuary, a condition imposed by the Genoese before they permitted its construction. Lined by beautiful beaches, there are many fishing activities in the area, both on the ocean and on the largest lake on the island. There are many charming port villages along the coastline offering another view of the Corsican influence on this island. Other activities include hiking, sailing, diving and horseback riding.

As far as fine dining goes Bastia has much to offer. Along with a great selection of cheeses and wines, it offers the Maison Mattei, a fine restaurant that plays host to traditional Corsican food. For night-life the town offers discos, although these are not very popular. Many enjoy having evening drinks at bars along the coastline, relaxing and watching the beautiful Corsican sunset. The town also offers transportation, including an airport as well as a train service to Ajaccio.
