If you’re after a destination where you can scramble around ancient fortresses in the morning and swim in picture-perfect coves in the afternoon, Bastia, Corsica and the wild north of the island will absolutely win you over<\/strong>. The moment you step off the ferry and take your first deep breath, you’ll catch the unmistakable scent of wild thyme, rosemary and sun-baked earth. Locals call this wild vegetation maquis, and the story goes that Napoleon Bonaparte could have recognised his home island blindfolded, purely by this unique aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t expect a polished French Riviera with flawless promenades, though \u2014 Corsica is wilder, rougher and prouder than that<\/strong>. The roads here twist high above sheer drops, and the sea is often the kind of colour you’d usually associate with brochures of the distant Caribbean. In this article we’ll explore the port city of Bastia and the rugged Cap Corse peninsula, which on the map looks like a raised finger pointing towards Genoa in Italy. I’ll tell you which places not to miss, where to base yourself, and what to watch out for when planning your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
