Calvi has remembrance of its military past, so roaming through the city you will discover the precious sixteenth- and seventeenth-century rests of the former Genoese palace (now the Genoese palace hosts the Foreign Legion parachutist regiment.)

La Pinède, one of the most famous beaches of the area (and deservedly so), in summer is easily reached by the Trinighellu, a small train that tours the nearby beaches. Here seaside areas are quite-well equipped in terms of restoration and other facilities. Additionally, you can here play water sports - mainly sailing, diving, and jet skiing – in the schools and rental agency on the beach. If you are looking for wilder and less packed beaches, the Revellata peninsula is your cup of tea. It is a protected natural site with strong winds howling from the sea and an outstanding biodiversity with rare plants only to be found there. At the very top of Revellata you can find its beacon. Overall, the peninsula is ideal for wandering in the midst of nature. To explore the charming and mysterious Corsican backcountry, though, it is better to get aboard your car rented via GoCarRental.com.
