Lumio
A balcony village on the eastern slopes of Calvi Bay, with a small Romanesque chapel of Saints Peter and Paul and views over the bay.
Lumio sits on the hillside east of Calvi Bay. It is called the 'village of light' because of the way it catches the morning sun. At the village entrance is the 11th-century Romanesque chapel of Saints Peter and Paul, and from within the village you can look out over all of Calvi Bay and its citadel. Below the village, along the coast, are several quiet small beaches, and nearby is the abandoned old village of Occi, which can be reached on foot. It is about 10 kilometres from Calvi and is often the first stop on the Balagne hill village circuit.
