Calvi is a beautiful seaside town, bathed by turquoise waters and steeped in history. I recommend strolling through the narrow streets of the Citadel, built in 1483 by the Genoese, and then heading to the port. The view of the bay, overlooked by high mountains, including Mount Cinto (2,706 m), Corsica's highest peak, is impressive.

...if you're at the beach and unexpectedly get bored, walk to the left and back. It's a wonderful little path.

The church, located in the middle of a cemetery, was built in the 11th century in the Pisan-Romanesque style. It is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Corsica. It was recently extensively renovated with funds from the EU and the Corsican regional association.

Very beautiful beach, clean and quiet despite being busy. The sea is full of fish (mask and fins are essential). Parking is €3.

One of the most beautiful villages in Balagne, alleys, covered passages and houses blend into the rock. The view of the plain and the sea is splendid.

Little is known about early settlement, but Phoenicians, Greeks and Etruscans already had settlements in the area of today's Calvi. The Romans built a settlement called Sinus Caesiae (possibly also Sinus Casalus) in the area of the lower town, from which the current name Calvi is said to derive; another source refers the place name of Calvi to the Latin word "calvus", which means "bald" and in this respect the name goes back to the originally bare, uncultivated and uninhabited rock on which a citadel was later built.
