만소 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

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.

This magnificent panoramic trail overlooks the coast from Alga Beach. The first few meters are a bit of a climb, but the trail is super smooth and the natural setting is wonderful.

A beautiful, wild valley. The hike runs along the road on one side, from which you can barely see the river. The swimming spots are great. The return journey is wonderful, but at the end you'll be surprised by a gate with barbed wire – private property. Therefore, I can only recommend the hike with reservations.

Even though the pass is never steep (from the north), it is a long one. On warm days, remember to bring plenty of water. You'll never ride in the shade.

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.
