Cruise passengers arriving at Calvi on the island of Corsica will first notice that a massive 15th-century citadel dominates the town and its cruise port, Quai Landry. The newer part of town is close to the port, while the historic district is farther up, toward the citadel. It makes for a nice walk, and you’ll pass sights such as the St. Jean Baptiste Cathedral and the Oratoire St. Antoine along the way.

Calvi boasts a lively nightlife, and it’s near the popular L’Ile Rousse resort. Some excursions travel to Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, and to destinations within the island’s interior, which is studded with the fragrant, scrubby vegetation known as maquis. Shoppers can browse the stores for local crafts, including ceramics and coral jewelry, as well as the ubiquitous Napoleon souvenirs.
