Getting ashore
Ships anchor off Calvi and passengers are tendered into the harbour, which sits below the citadel.
Watch-outs
The citadel climb is steep, and the streets are narrow. Tender times depend on the wind.
Citadelle
The Citadelle is a fortified hill town above the harbour, with the Genoese walls, the church and views over the bay.
Balagne beaches
The Balagne coast has beaches such as Plage de Calvi and the coves further west, reached by bus or taxi.
Calanche and the coast
The Calanche of Piana, a red granite coastline, is a short drive away with viewpoints.
Food & shopping
Corsican food includes charcuterie, brocciu cheese and chestnut desserts. Harbour restaurants are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the euro. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are in the town.
Accessibility & mobility
The harbour is flat, but the citadel is steep with steps. Ask your operator for accessible transport.
