Since its inauguration in December 2020, it has been impossible to visit Bastia without taking the Aldilonda, a balcony offering a breathtakingly beautiful ride above the waves.
To get there, head for the Old Port and its picture-postcard setting. As you round the cove to reach the southern quay, you'll discover this extraordinary structure built into the rock face, between the ramparts of the Citadel and the Tyrrhenian Sea that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Fishing enthusiasts love to meet up on the rocks to indulge in their favourite activity in an exceptional setting. Quickly adopted by the people of Bastia, this soft path linking Bastia town centre to the Arinella beach is very popular with joggers and walkers.
Solo, with family or friends, the Aldilonda is the place to start the day, marvelling at the sublime sunrises against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Photographers and selfie enthusiasts can be found roaming the area every day in search of the perfect shot.
