몽칼레 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.

From here, you'll reach a superb, intimate little beach in a cove that's ideal for swimming. It's the perfect spot to admire the sunset.

A popular meeting place for road cyclists and mountain bikers. Here, you can fill your water bottle with genuine Zilia water—slightly chilled, too. Last year, I spoke to a local about the water quality of the fountain. He said it had been tested and was of drinking quality. This was a welcome stop on my leg of the route from Calvi to San Antonino. Further up in the town of Zilia, there's a very small corner shop with a small but very good selection of fruit.

One of the most beautiful villages in Balagne, alleys, covered passages and houses blend into the rock. The view of the plain and the sea is splendid.

Awesome mountain bike trail but not for beginners, or you have to get off and walk 😉 Snorkelling is actually a must.

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.

Very nice little village with wonderful views of Calvi and Algajola.
