By train through Europe, via Florence to Livorno at the Italian coast, covered quite a foreign terrain, & filled the soul with everlasting visual impressions & food for thoughts.
We entered Bastia by boat after a restless night in a cheap Italian hotel that we shared with myriads of cockroaches.
Driving across the Island from Bastia to Calvi brought out the right holiday feeling. The delightful smell of lavender sneaked in through the open windows & welcomed us to this magnificent island.
For 3 weeks we slept in a two-person tent in walking distance from the ocean. We lived primarily on flutes & raw vegetables, spend the days floating & sunbathing & dancing the nights away in Calvi.
We returned home a month later bronzed by the sun, slimmed & full of spirit and inspiration.
Having tried 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 & are very relaxed & tastefully furnished.
Did I touch on the beaches? They are long, white, alluring & very clean. Furthermore the breeze 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 soak 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 found 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 to tears with Calvi. You can follow the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop fashionable clothes in the ancient part of the town, eat delicious dinners at the various restaurants or visit the piano bar in the old as time Citadel for live music.
Water sport is not hard to find in the region and on the island 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..
At the end of June each year The Calvi Jazz Festival attracts big names from the Jazz scene and you can attend concerts in the Citadel & jam sessions on the Quay Landry.
"Calvi On The Rocks" occur every year in July. It consists of electronic music & a digital arts festival with nightly concert in the Fortress.
I hope you have a wonderful trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - & whether you choose a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am convinced you're going to have a good time in the charming town & the stunning surroundings.
