Corsica II⚓: Calvi

Calvi turned out to be a very pretty anchorage. No matter which direction the boat was turned, the view was gorgeous. We had our pick from snowy mountains, white sandy beaches to a picturesque old town. Most of all, swell wise it turned out to be a very good decision to go into this bay. It was super quiet.

Here we looked up a little bit of history on Corsica to find out about the interesting mix between Italian and French town or street names or words in general. Turns out, Corsicans don't really relate to either the French or Italians, Genovese to be specific, but mostly proudly feel Corsican. Being an island with rich mountains they have adapted to a lifestyle that combines the riches of the sea with those of the earth, mountains specifically.

In Calvi we both worked a bit, strolled around the old town already enjoyed some, even though we are not really in Italy yet, delicious gelato with cool flavors like chestnut and a typical Corsican flower/herb I can't remember and did some shopping! I found a pair of shorts and two cute summer dresses which are made in the EU! And of course, waited for a weather window for our last leg to Imperia aka Bart's dad! We have found it, Monday the 28th of April we are going 🚀⛵ Or truthfully, we are on the way!Read more
