🚢 How to Get to Cap Corse

Your adventure begins in Bastia, a charming port city nestled at the foot of the peninsula. It’s the ideal entry point and easily accessible by ferry from Italy.

Corsica Ferries offers fast and overnight routes from Livorno or Savona to Bastia. The crossing takes 4–6 hours for high-speed ferries or up to 10 hours for overnight trips.

GNV – Grandi Navi Veloci connects Genoa to Bastia, typically with 10-hour overnight sailings.

Grimaldi Lines also sails from Livorno, with crossings lasting between 7 and 9 hours.

🏞️ What to See and Do in Cap Corse

Once in Bastia, follow the scenic circular route that loops around the peninsula. The road winds through dramatic landscapes, quiet villages, black-sand beaches and rugged cliffs.

Start your journey in Erbalunga, a pastel-colored fishing village where cobbled alleys meet sea breezes and golden sunsets.

Venture inland to Luri, a lovely spot to sample Corsican charcuterie, wildflower honey and mountain wines.

Further north lies Centuri, home to one of the most picturesque ports in France and renowned for its fresh lobster — a gourmet stop you won’t forget.

As you reach Macinaggio and Rogliano, the scenery becomes wilder. Think secluded coves, Genoese watchtowers, and footpaths immersed in the Mediterranean scrub.

Don’t miss the Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers’ Trail) near the Santa Maria Tower. It’s one of the island’s most breathtaking hikes, best enjoyed at sunrise or sunset for dramatic sea views.

The final highlight is Nonza, a clifftop village overlooking a unique black pebble beach. The view from the church square is simply unforgettable 🖤🌊.

🎯 Experiences Not to Miss

Hiking lovers will be drawn to the Sentier des Douaniers, a coastal trail perfect for walking between sea and cliffs. For cyclists, the scenic D80 road is a rewarding but demanding ride 🚴‍♀️.

If you're after sea and sunshine, head to Cala Genovese, Plage de Tamarone, and Barcaggio, where turquoise waters and quiet beaches offer the perfect snorkeling escape 🐠🏖️.

Cap Corse is rich in history and culture. Explore Genoese towers, Romanesque churches, artisan markets — including the popular Wednesday market in Macinaggio — and summer festivals full of local flavor and rhythm 🎭🕍.

When it comes to food, Corsican flavors are bold and rustic. Try brocciu cheese, smoked cured meats, canistrelli biscuits, and local Patrimonio wines. Markets are the best place to buy delicious gifts and authentic souvenirs 🍽️🍇.

🛌 Where to Stay and How to Get Around

Cap Corse offers a range of accommodations for every type of traveler. Choose B&Bs and chambres d’hôtes for a warm Corsican welcome, sea-view hotels for a more romantic stay, or eco-lodges and campgrounds for full immersion in nature 🌲.

It's smart to book in advance for summer, or visit in spring or early autumn when the peninsula is quieter and at its most beautiful 🌸🍂.

To explore the area, renting a car is the easiest option, though scooters and motorbikes are ideal for navigating the curves and coastlines. Cycling is rewarding for experienced riders, while public transport exists but is limited.
