Calvi
The Genoese citadel and the bay of pines and snow-capped peaks.
: Journey :
2 h 30 from Ajaccio · jet to Calvi-Sainte-Catherine
Calvi crowns the Balagne with a Genoese citadel rising above a crescent bay where umbrella pines meet white sand and, in spring, the snows of Monte Cinto still glint behind. The town claims Christopher Columbus as a son and keeps a fiercely independent character. FFGR Corsica collects patrons at Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport and arranges citadel walks at dusk, sundowners at the legendary Chez Tao, and chauffeured tours of the Balagne's perched villages: Sant'Antonino, Pigna, Lumio. The Calvi on the Rocks festival and the polyphonic Rencontres de Chant draw a cultivated summer crowd to one of Corsica's most glamorous harbours.
