Corsica
Corsica. Calvi is a small port town on the island of Corsica. You would be forgiven for thinking that Calvi isn’t exactly the most welcoming place at first sight. The imposing stone fortress has fended off many an invader since the 1400s. The massive snow-peaked mountains in the background only add to the drama of the scene. But as they often are, looks are deceiving, and the reception you can expect once you reach dry land is decidedly warm. Calvi is also the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Unfortunately, all that remains of his family home is a pile of ruins, as it was destroyed by the infamous Admiral Nelson, who ended up losing an eye in the process, during the French Revolution.
