Suggestion: Visit the trendy port town of Calvi
One of Corsica’s highlights is the proud and trendy port town of Calvi, over many centuries part of the Genoese Empire and, as legend has it, the birth town of Christopher Columbus. With its enfolding hinterland of snow-streaked mountains and low hills covered with typical Corsican macchia (woods and scrubland), and the Genoese Citadel at its entrance, Calvi’s bay is an astoundingly beautiful sight.
The famous Chapelle de Notre Dame de la Serra erected in the 15th century on a hilltop offers a perfect lookout over the stunning panorama. On a rock nearby stands the life-sized marbled A Madonna di a Sarra with outstretched arms, the patroness of Calvi. The Corsicans believe that lovers who pay their respects to the Madonna will be granted, eternal love.
Calvi is surrounded by beautiful beaches. The sandy bay with its colorful marina bordered by a large pine wood is one of the most beautiful gulfs of Corsica. The boardwalk offers a rich selection of restaurants and terraces, as well as exciting water sports activities.

Day 2 : La Balagne
Morning Private guided driving tour to Balagne’s old villages with a driver and a licensed guide
La Balagne is an excellent introduction to Corsica. In this private driving tour, you will explore this beautiful region, from the coast to the high hillside villages.
Your tour will start from Calvi towards Calenzana village on the mountainside in the middle of olive trees, where the GR20 begins. Then, you’ll visit the authentic villages of Zilia, Montemaggiore, and the artist’s village of Pigna. You’ll continue your tour along the route of Corbara Artisans, famous for its 15th-century convent. Finally, you will explore San Antonino, one of the most beautiful villages in Corsica, located 500 meters altitude with its eagle’s nest, which offers a 360-degree view of the Balagne.
Spend the afternoon at the beach
Calvi is surrounded by small beaches and picturesque inlets and is amongst the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. With its crystal clear water, it’s the ideal spot for romantic “dolce far niente” and for soaking up the pure holiday feeling!
The view across the bay and the stunning backdrop of Calvi Citadel are simply out of the world. The protected and warm waters with their different gradient colors are ideal for children to play in. A whole wide range of cafes and restaurants, some of which directly serve on the beach, will be at your disposal to ensure you relax and rejuvenate. Adventure-seeking enthusiasts can also avail a number of water sports available, be it surfing, skiing, etc…
