Genoa

“La Superba” (the proud one) is Genoa’s nickname and rightly so. Whether you try the famous pesto alla genovese, which consists of basil, olive oil, cheese and pine nuts, or bite into a foccaccia fresh from the oven, the city will remain in your culinary memory. The old town, the largest in Europe after Rome, will also delight you. Visit the three old palazzi of the Mueso di Strada Nuova on Via Garibaldi. You will find different cultural treasures in each one. With its wide waterfront promenade, cafés and restaurants, the old harbor “Porto Antico” is a highlight. Here you can also visit the aquarium, popular with young and old alike, where you can marvel at a variety of fish and other sea creatures. Enjoy this rugged, typically Italian city, if only for a few hours, before the journey continues.

Bastia

Did you know that Corsica was called “Kalliste”, the most beautiful, by the ancient Greeks? And they were right, let yourself be seduced by the amazing geographical diversity of Corsica. From the sea to the mountains, you can explore an island with a thousand facets, inhabited by a community that is very proud of its heritage. Within half an hour’s drive, the landscape ranges from glittering bays, vibrant coastal towns and fairytale beaches to green valleys, dense forests and forgotten hilltop villages. The island offers you an enormous range of possibilities for a successful vacation: from swimming to mountaineering, from mountain biking to sailing, from hiking to deep-sea diving.

You won’t miss out on culinary delights either. Corsican cuisine, with its many different influences, has managed to retain its very own character. For cheese lovers, we recommend attending the cheese festival in Venaco at the beginning of May. Wine connoisseurs are also in for a treat. With an area under cultivation of 8000 hectares, Corsica is one of the most important and qualitatively significant wine-growing regions in France.

Your journey will be characterized by discoveries, surprises and emotions.
