19 April 2007 - Corsican Places - Press Office
Renowned for its stunning beaches, magnificent mountains, charming villages and colourful old ports, the Mediterranean island of Corsica provides the perfect ‘picture postcard’ holiday location. While its beauty will captivate visitors, there is further attraction in June as the fortress town of Calvi celebrates its twentieth annual jazz festival.
The Calvi Jazz Festival takes place 02 – 09 June 2007 and with over 60 concerts planned, the town will thrive with music - played in its streets, harbour side cafes and even its magnificent pine fringed stretch of sandy beach. Each year, this prestigious event captures the hearts of music lovers with its array of dedicated musicians, many of whom perform free of charge.
To coincide with the festival, Corsican Places, the UK’s leading specialist tour operator to the island, is offering a week’s self-catering at Apartment Georges in Calvi from £349 per person (based on four sharing) for departure 03 June from Gatwick. This price includes flights, transfers and a welcome hamper and is also valid for 10, 17 & 24 June departures.
Apartment Georges is a comfortable and spacious third floor apartment in a key location in the heart of the citadel. It has superb views overlooking the Revellata Peninsula and provides an excellent base to enjoy the festival and explore the picturesque port and town of Calvi, with its wide choice of cafes, bars and restaurants right on the doorstep.
Corsican Places offers more properties in Calvi Citadel than any other tour operator plus an extensive choice of handpicked villas, apartments and hotel holidays across the whole of the island. In addition to London Gatwick, flights are also offered from Stansted, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, East Midlands and Edinburgh airports.
