Camping La Pinède

The Citadelle de Calvi (10 minutes’ drive) is sure to be your first port of call for a holiday in Calvi. It’s hard to miss the imposing clifftop fortress peering out over the town. For another trip down memory lane, the ancient ruins at the abandoned Village d’Occi have more commanding seaside views. Nearby, the village of Calenzana (15 minutes) has old churches and chapels or a mythical hiking trail to choose from, too. For your next venture, look towards the sea. Tackle the waves by hiring a jet ski (five minutes to the nearest rental) or set sail from Calvi Marina (10 minutes). Perhaps you might want to touch the ocean’s bottom with a dive or sail down south to Scandola Nature Reserve for some wildlife spotting. Inland, the Bonifato forest and the Figarella river (25 minutes) is a forest and river expedition with views over the bay. Make the most of the great outdoors with canyoning in Fango Valley (30 minutes) or quad biking or hiking along the Revellata peninsula (20 minutes).
