Calvi is a small town on the north-west coast of Corsica.
Calvi is an attractive town in an idyllic location between the sea and the mountains behind. Largely given over to tourism (and the French Foreign Legion) Calvi now has more than its fair share of tourists, cafes and bars, and souvenir shops.
The Quai Landry is a nice place for a promenade along the seafront, and abounds with restaurants and cafes. At the northern end, towering above the port, is the citadel. Pass through the gateway to see the governors palace (Caserne Sanpiero). The castle itself is not open to the public, but you can walk around the ramparts of the citadel, stopping for numerous photo opportunities as you go, then venture in through the narrow streets of the citadel to see the Cathedral of St Jean Baptiste.
There is a fine beach at Calvi, but you will need to walk a kilometre or so to find the first free, public section.
Note: Calvi claims to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus but this claim should almost certainly ignored as untrue or at least unproven, much as Cyrano de Bergerac probably never visited Bergerac...)
