Holidays in Calvi

An introduction to Calvi

If there's a way to experience the quintessential Corsica – it's on holidays in Calvi. Seeped in medieval history yet oozing modern-day sassiness, Calvi offers something for everyone, from food-and beach-lovers to culture vultures, socialites and outdoor enthusiasts.

Watched over by a grandiose medieval fortress, the town is a treasure box of pleasures located within a natural stadium of rugged mountains, scented pinewoods and a majestic bay. Want the beach? Just stroll to the sands and soak up the exhilarating views, dazzling seas and watersports. Want to people-watch? Sit at any of the marina-front cafes, sip on cafe creme and eye the luxury yachts. Sightseeing? Tour the fortress, meander around Calvi's shop-filled old quarter, catch the train to Ile Rousse or head for pretty Algajola. Then as evening settles, join in one of the rituals of holidays in Calvi – cosy up at a waterfront eaterie to savour Corsican seafood, surrounded by chatter, music and starlight.
