Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Calvi Sainte-Catherine Airport is 6 km from the centre: a taxi takes about 10 minutes at a fixed fare, the shuttle 30-40 minutes with limited schedules, the public bus up to 45-55 minutes. Since there are no hotels near the terminal, the real choice is between the citadel and harbour area, the seafront towards the beach and the marina, or the countryside around the town for those seeking quiet and a park instead of a sea view. On an island where flights are often seasonal, it's worth checking in advance the opening dates of the chosen hotel, because many places close in winter.
