Haute-Corse covers the northern half of Corsica, its capital, Bastia, both the island's largest port and an important economic centre. Bastia's airport and ferry connections keep the department well linked to mainland France and Italy. With its Genoese heritage, Haute-Corse is home to Bastia's old citadel and harbour, and to the Cap Corse peninsula, its Genoese watchtowers and small fishing villages offering a quieter stretch of coastline. Away from the main historic attractions, buyers will find the Balagne region, nicknamed the garden of Corsica for its olive groves and hilltop villages, and the mountain town of Corte, the island's historic capital. Haute-Corse is also noted for Calvi, with its citadel and marina, one of the department's most popular resort towns. A Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild winters. Property here ranges from an apartment in Bastia, a villa in the Balagne countryside or a traditional stone house in one of Corsica's hilltop villages. With Genoese heritage, olive groves and mountain scenery, it remains one of the most distinctive departments in France. Houses in Haute-Corse currently average €3,077/m².
