Calvi Beach Holiday In Beautiful Corsica

By train all the way through Europe, via Florence to Livorno at the Italian coast, covered quite a foreign terrain, and filled the brain with countless visual impressions & food for thoughts.

We arrived in Bastia by boat after a restless night in a modest Italian hotel room-mating with myriads of cockroaches.

Driving across the Island from Bastia to Calvi brought out the right holiday feeling. The delightful scent of lavender sneaked in through the open windows & welcomed us to this magnificent island.

For three weeks we slept in a tiny 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 came home a month later bronzed by the sun, slimmed and full of getupandgo & inspiration.

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

Did I touch on the beaches? They are long, white, irresistible & wonderfully clean. Furthermore the wind makes even the hottest month bearable by the seaside, as long as you offer protection to 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 stiff with Calvi. You can follow the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop trendy clothes in the ancient part of the town, eat mouthwatering dinners at the different restaurants or visit the piano bar in the old as time Citadel for live music.

Water sport is not in short supply in the area and on the island as a whole you can go horse-riding , hike, walk the mountains and 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 celebrities 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 Fortress.

I hope you have a fantastic trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - & whether you make a choice of a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am certain you're going to have a good time in the charming town and the aesthetically appealing surroundings.

My first trip to Corsica was done on a shoe-string. We were two poor students who would rather spend the summer being penniless in the sun, than staying at home being both poor and totally at the mercy of the North-European weather gods.
