Why go
Tall painted houses enclose a working harbor below Bastia's old center. The twin church towers and fishing boats give the basin its strongest visual anchors. The combination gives Bastia Old Port more depth than a quick photograph. The setting makes Bastia Old Port useful for comparing travel choices on Corsica's coast and interior.
