Discover Calvi

Calvi is located on the northwest coast of the island of beauty, facing the coast of the Côte d'Azur. This is the economic and tourist capital of Balagne, renowned for its magnificent beaches and its citadel dating from the Middle Ages.

Between culture, history and strolling along the cobbled and colorful streets, Calvi will undeniably seduce you.

Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte strongly marked the city, which is also very linked to the city of Genoa by having supported it during the Revolt of the Corsicans.

Discovering the town of Calvi, located 120 km from Cervione, means fulfilling all your wishes in terms of stay. From unmissable places to visit, to activities to do day and night, here is everything you need to know to prepare your trip to Calvi.

Visit Calvi: the must-see places not to be missed

The town of Calvi is distinguished by its two areas: the lower part, called "la marine", with its old-world charm, and the citadel, a place steeped in history and with striking architecture. Here are the must-see places when staying near Calvi:

  • The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral: built in the 16th century on a Greek cross plan. Legend has it that in 1555, the Genoese displayed the statue of Christ on the ramparts during the war against France, then allied with the Turks. The siege was then immediately lifted, sparing the city and its population.
  • The Notre-Dame de la Serra Chapel and its magnificent belvedere offering a breathtaking panorama.
  • Calvi beach, bordered by a pine forest, with many seaside restaurants and bars.
  • The salt tower: a former lookout post where salt was stored. Built in 1897, it is now attached to the citadel of Calvi and has been listed as a historic monument since 1992.
  • The Sainte-Marie-Majeure church : pink and Baroque in style, this religious building is in the lower part of the town.
  • The house of Christopher Columbus.
  • The Revellata peninsula: located in the Gulf of Calvi, a wild area rarely visited except by boaters. It is swept by strong winds and has very little woodland. You can, however, see the Revellata lighthouse, also known as the "Gulf of Calvi lighthouse", which stands nearly 100 meters above the sea. It has been listed as a French heritage site since 2001.

Activities to do in Calvi

In Calvi, strolling through the steep and pretty cobbled streets is very pleasant. You will be able to contemplate the architecture of the buildings, the art galleries, stock up on flavors and scents in the markets, or do some shopping in the shops of the very lively city. Rue Clemenceau is a must for shopping fans and Place Maréchal is a maze of small streets and passages typical of Corsican villages.

The little Balagne train, fondly known as "U trinighellu", takes you around the villages on the hillside, all the way to Ile Rousse. For water sports enthusiasts, the pine forest is home to sailing and diving schools and offers the rental of equipment and gear to enjoy the water in complete safety. Hiking, horseback riding or cycling are possible on the 4 kilometers of paths on the peninsula that will take you to the tip of Revellata.

The beaches near Calvi

If you want to opt for something other than the campsite's swimming pool and water park, here are the most beautiful beaches located in the Calvi region:

  • Calvi beach: its wooded surroundings and shallow water are ideal for the whole family.
  • Alga cove: located 13 km from Calvi, this small wild beach offers an incomparable view of the Gulf of Calvi.
  • Lozari beach: the largest beach in Balagne, so it is easy to find a spot. It is perfectly suited to water sports.
  • Sainte-Restitu beach: the little beach train can drop you off at this small cove with fine sand. There is a lifeguard station, as swimming can be dangerous at certain times.

Going out in Calvi

In addition to your campsite's activities such as the water park with swimming pool and slide, every year a jazz festival comes to Calvi around June 13 to 18, bringing together renowned musicians and singers. But Calvi also has a rock festival, "Calvi on the Rocks", held around July 14. Throughout the year, concerts, meetings and street festivals punctuate life in Calvi. There are many bars and restaurants in Calvi, welcoming holidaymakers from the upper town down to the port. Partygoers then meet at L'Annexe for a night to the rhythm of club sounds.
