Calvi - A Fishing Town In Corsica

By train thru Europe, via Florence to Livorno at the Italian coast, covered quite a length, and filled the brain with endless visual impressions & food for thoughts.

We entered Bastia by boat after a sleepless night in a dirtcheap Italian hotel room-mating with myriads of cockroaches.

Driving across the Island from Bastia to Calvi brought out the right holiday mood. The sweet scent of lavender sneaked in through the open windows and welcomed us to this wonderful island.

For 3 weeks we stayed in a two-person tent in walking distance from the the coast. We lived primarily on flutes & raw vegetables, spend the days floating and sunbathing and dancing the nights away in Calvi.

We went back home a month later bronzed by the sun, slimmed & full of steam and inspiration.

Having experienced a vacation on the cheap makes it so much easier to appreciate the advantages of renting a Calvi villa for a family holiday. Many of the rental villas in Calvi has private pool and are very luxurious and tastefully furnished.

Did I point out the beaches? They are long, white, tempting and very clean. Furthermore the gentle wind makes even the hottest month bearable by the seaside, as long as you protect your head from the constant sharp sun. A cotton hat, that you can dip in the sea regularly, keeps your head cooled off. There is much to be said for a Calvi Beach Holiday !

Calvi has no more than 6000 inhabitants. It is located on the North-West coast of the island - 59 km from Bastia. The town has ferry connections with the French mainland (Marseille, Nice, and Toulon) and luxurious yachts visit the harbor. Calvi is a charming old fishing town and fishing is still of some importance, even though tourism is now the big earner.

You will not be bored with Calvi. You can observe the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop stylish clothes in the old part of the town, eat scrumptious dinners at the diverse restaurants or visit the piano bar in the medieval Citadel for live music.

Water sport is not in short supply in the area and in Corsica as a whole you can go horse-riding , hike, walk the mountains & even play golf.

From June to September the Citadel houses art exhibitions by professional local artists from across the whole island of Corsica..

In late June The Calvi Jazz Festival attracts big names from the Jazz scene & you can attend concerts in the Citadel & jam sessions on the Quay Landry.

"Calvi On The Rocks" takes place every year in July. It consists of electronic music and a digital arts festival with nightly concert in the Citadel.

I hope you have a wonderful trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - and whether you select a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am certain you're going to take pleasure in the charming town and the heavenly surroundings.
