Many companies use it.<br\/>The airport of Bastia-Poretta is smaller around the main airline Air France. It is located 20km south of Bastia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscanner.pxf.io\/c\/2838839\/1027991\/13416?associateid=AFF_TRA_19354_00001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Compare flight options and prices on Skyscanner.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferry to Corsica<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/0-Getting-there\/i-VvHRxg9\/2\/61413354\/L\/ferry_Corse-4-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ferry to Corsica\" title=\"Ferry to Corsica\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another great way to get to Corsica is by ferry. This allows you to take your own car and the views as you arrive around the island are splendid!<br\/>Ferries depart mainly from :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>France : Nice, Marseille or Toulon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Italy : Genoa, Savona, Piombino<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most ferry companies have routes to Bastia and Ajaccio.<br\/>The fastest ferry goes from Piombino (Italy) to Bastia (less than 3 hours).<br\/>Some ferries operate at night: for example, from Marseille to Ajaccio, it takes 10 to 11 hours.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can

reach by plane (bigger airport).<br\/>But in the end, it all depends on where you come from, when and how you want to travel&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<div

title=\"Streets of Ajaccio  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a population of about 50,000 inhabitants, Ajaccio is the largest city in Corsica.<br\/>It&#8217;s surrounded by mountains, so once you have more open views from the streets, it can be very scenic. However, there are many large buildings.<br\/>The center of Ajaccio is built around the 16th century citadel, still used for military purposes.<br\/>The old town of Ajaccio is a mixture of large squares and narrow streets with pastel painted houses.<br\/>There are many stores, food markets and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The port is located right next to the old town and is open to the sea.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

title=\"Rue de Bastia\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old town of Bastia is organized around 2 main elements: the citadel and the old port.<br\/>Between the two, there are large squares and narrow streets with colorful houses.<br\/>Many buildings date back to the 18th century.<br\/>It&#8217;s more of a labyrinth to explore, finding charming streets in many corners.<br\/>The old part is particularly charming, because it is more closed and dominated by the church of Saint John the Baptist.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
