Budget travel from mainland to Bastia, Corsica

I am travelling from Poland to Corsica to visit a friend. However, my budget's super-tight so flights are probably out.

Any ideas on the cheapest way to get from mainland France, or Italy, to Bastia, Corsica? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes the cheapest ticket is not necessarily the cheapest way to get somewhere miin. Often flying works out cheaper overall than a ferry or train to somewhere when you factor in the time difference and the fallout from that additional time. For example, if you have to buy a meal enroute on a ferry, that should be added to your ticket cost to determine just how much it cost you to get there vs. flying.

Lost time is also a factor although not one you can put a price on. If time is no issue then it is worth nothing. If you only have a week, then half a day is a lot of time to lose.

Hi Miin78,

to me the cheapest way to reach Bastia from Poland would be to take a bus from where you are to Berlin and then a flight with German Wings to Bastia (from EUR100). To echo the above, yes you could find cheaper (hitch hiking across europe for 20 days) but it will be a wrong economy at the end with all the costs linked to food and accomodation.

Enjoy Corsica!

If you live in the South of Poland, you may fly with http://www.ryanair.com to Pisa and go on by ferry from Livorno

A few years ago I flew from Poland to Alghero in Corsica with Ryanair. I used two flights (via London) but it was still very cheap.
