Why choose Bastia for your road trip
Bastia — a city worth exploring
Bastia's Place Saint-Nicolas stretches 280 metres along the seafront, making it one of the largest squares in France and the beating heart of this Corsican port city. The old harbour, known as the Vieux Port, is lined with colourful buildings that reflect off the water, while the Citadelle perched above holds the Palais des Gouverneurs and the Musée de Bastia, which traces the island's history from antiquity to the present day. The twin-towered Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste dominates the harbour skyline and is the largest church in Corsica. Wander through the Terra Vecchia quarter to find artisan shops and local eateries tucked into narrow lanes. Beyond the city, Cap Corse — a rugged peninsula stretching 40 km north — offers dramatic coastal drives with hairpin bends and tiny fishing villages. Corte, the historic mountain capital of Corsica, sits 69 km south and makes a rewarding day trip through the island's interior gorges. Bastia is well connected by ferry to mainland France and Italy, so it serves as a natural starting point for exploring the whole island on wheels. With a motorhome or campervan, you can set your own pace along the winding coastal roads. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners in Bastia and across Corsica, which means personal tips on the best routes and a more affordable, peer-to-peer way to travel.
Best time to visit
Bastia welcomes visitors comfortably from April through October. The Fêtes de la Saint-Jean in late June fill the old town with bonfires, music and processions, while Les Musicales de Bastia in early November bring classical concerts to historic venues across the city. Spring and early autumn are ideal for campervan travel, with quieter roads around Cap Corse and easy access to campsites. Summer is the most popular season, so we recommend booking your vehicle on Yescapa well in advance to lock in the best choice from local owners. Peer-to-peer hire often means more flexible pick-up options and competitive rates compared to peak-season pricing.

O Nelson foi muito porreiro e toda a experiência foi muito boa.

5 / 5
I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting Marco’s campervan in Portugal! The van is beautiful, extremely comfortable, and incredibly well equipped — honestly, it has everything you could possibly need for an amazing trip. You can really tell that a lot of care and attention has gone into making it feel like a home on the road. But what made the experience even better was Marco himself. He is extremely professional, kind, helpful, and always available whenever you need anything. From the first contact to the end of the trip, everything was smooth, easy, and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better campervan or a better host. I would 100% recommend Marco and his van to anyone looking for an unforgettable road trip in Portugal. I would definitely rent from him again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Communication with the owner was great. The car absolutely met all our expectations for the trip. Amenities included a camping stove, solar shower, cooking supplies, blankets, bedding, and lots more. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and has low fuel consumption. We used about 75% of the tank over a distance of approximately 800 km. Very fuel-efficient. Ideal for a couple traveling together—we highly recommend it.
