Arriving to Bastia

Our boat docked early, and we disembarked in a pretty predawn at 7am. We slowly strolled into town, and found a cafe where we nursed our coffee, croissants, and quiche, wasting as much time as possible.

We then found the local square to hang out while the sun rose and we waited for the tourist info office to open.

After that, we were contemplating finding luggage storage, but our Airbnb host said we could access the apartment to store our bags. Score!

Stashed them, then walked around the marina and down the coastline. Then checked out the Bastia museum and learned some essentials about the history of this island, including it's extensive history with parts of current Italy. We can definitely feel that influence in the churches and architecture.

Lunch in a delightful plaza, then hit up a grocery store for essentials for our 4 days in town.Read more
