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.

Beautiful beach

Poorly signposted, turn right at the bar

A lovely cove, also suitable for children. In June 2025, there was a lot of dead algae. But there were also plenty of spots without it.

Beautiful view

Very beautiful small church made of green serpentine and white limestone blocks.

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.
