Calvi

Calvi

There´s a good bit of Italy in this French resort, which remain tained its ties to Genoa long after the rest of Corsica declared independence. The Genoese Citadel dominates the coastline; you can visit it by crossing a drawbridge. The nearby Oratoire, a Renaissance chapel containing religious art, is also worth exploring. However, the main attractions of Calvi are the gorgeous beaches and lively marina.

Activities

A 50-minute train ride from Calvi to L'Ile Rousse takes you right along the coast. You can see the quaint old town and the main square, and watch (or even join) locals playing boules under the plane trees. About an hour's drive from Calvi is the Forest of Bonifatu, where there are secluded rock pools for swimming and great picnic spots.
