A hike to the Revellata Peninsula can be perfectly combined with a city sightseeing of Calvi and thus also with a wonderful swimming stay. Because while hiking along the coastal path, there are always opportunities to plunge into the waves of the Mediterranean Sea. Dreamlike small sandy bays and hidden small rocky niches with crystal-clear water. Ideal conditions to insert a few refreshing rounds in the azure waters of Corsica or to relax at the quiet bathing spots with a breathtaking panorama of Calvi.
From the parking lot, head to the junction at the Revellata track, then we follow the path northwards always keeping left, straight over the ridge to the tip of the peninsula with the widely visible Revellata lighthouse. After about 10 minutes, do not turn right (our later return route), but continue with slight ups and downs over the track along charming sea views alongside lovely macchia. After just under half an hour, a driveway to Anse l`Oscelluccia (shortcut of the route) branches off to the right at a cistern. After another 15 minutes, turn right at the fork and below the lighthouse, the ramp path to Phare de la Revellata branches off to the left. From here, there is a magnificent panoramic view over the picturesque Gulf of Revellata towards Calvi, with the fortress sitting like a bird’s nest on the mighty rock. In clear sight, behind it, the Corsican main ridge with the high 2000-meter mountains and Monte Cinto can also be made out. A few minutes back to the signboard at
