By plane
There are four airports on the island: Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi and Figari next to Porto-Vecchio. There is unfortunately not much available for getting into the big cities from the airport, other than renting a car or hitching, though Bastia airport has an almost-every hour bus service to town for â¬8, except in the evening where the interval is bigger. The last bus leaves at 2245. Easyjet fly to Corsica from the UK.
By ship
From France, the simplest and fastest solution is the NGV High Speed Boat, Navire à Grande Vitesse: it takes 2:45 to 3:30 to go from Nice to Calvi, l'Ile-Rousse, Ajaccio and Bastia, and you can enjoy the view of the Corsican seashore and arrive practically downtown. It is also possible to take regular ferries from Marseille, Nice and Toulon. You can also get to Corsica from Italy, leaving Genoa, Livorno, Savona, Naples or Sardinia.
