How to get in Calvi
It is possible to fly directly to Calvi from the UK using Air France. You can fly from Manchester, Birmingham, Gatwick, Heathrow and Edinburgh for appx. £200 return.
Another way is by flying or driving to Nice and catching a ferry (Corsica Ferries). There are two ferries; the fast one, the blue-and-white NGV (Navire à Grand Vitesse) which reaches Calvi in 2h45m, or the slow yellow-and-white one, which takes appx. 5hr30m. I would recommend the latter, as the NGV is not much fun on rougher crossings (you cannot go above deck) and the crew of the slower boat are hilarious--loud, friendly and warm, though they don't speak much English or French! (they're Sardinian). You can book cabins on the slow ferry, though unless you have to drive or need the sleep, it's probably not worth it. Meals in the restaurant comprise of Italian fare and are fantastic and super-cheap, as is the beer which is served in the aft bar above deck. Whales can sometimes be seen following the slower boat for some way, and it is generally a very enjoyable crossing.
It is also possible to fly into Bastia and then make your way to Calvi; this is often necessary as there are rarely many flights directly into Calvi. During the summer a bus runs daily from Bastia to Calvi, takes around 2 hours and costs €20, or you can always take a taxi.
