Why Citadel of Calvi matters
The citadel of Calvi sits on a rocky headland above the harbour. Inside are narrow lanes, a church and views over the bay to snow-capped peaks in winter. A long sandy beach stretches beyond. Walk the ramparts at sunset and finish with a drink at a harbour terrace below.
