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.

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.

From Galeria you should definitely make a detour to the Fango Valley to swim in one of the pools of the Fango River. It was wonderful... and according to a tour guide the water was 18 degrees. The best thing to do is to cycle to the old Genoese bridge in the Fango Valley. That's about 10 km from Galeria.
