Portofino and San Fruttuoso

The beauties of Portofino, a coveted and exclusive international tourist destination, are all contained within the Nature Reserve of the same name.
An ancient fishing village set like a jewel in an inlet full of sinuous recesses and bays that can only be reached by sea, with a unique vegetation, Portofino is an absolute priority, as also is a visit to the town of San Fruttuoso and its ancient Abbey, a jewel of the Ligurian Middle Ages, which provides the unique opportunity to admire the submerged statue of "Christ of the Abyss" in the waters in front of the abbey.

Cinque Terre

In the province of La Spezia, the Cinque Terre area provides an opportunity for visitors to admire the beauty of this unique landscape of terraced cliffs plunging to the sea.
The five villages that make up this jagged section of the Ligurian coast are a major tourist attraction.

Staying in Rapallo you can reach them easily by boat or by train. Also worth noting is the opportunity to taste excellent local wines and to enjoy the warm welcome in the village of Manarola, the town from which excursions along the Sentiero Azzurro (blue path) through the Cinque Terre Nature Reserve begin.

Portovenere

A delightful town at the western end of the Italian Riviera.
The view of the diminutive churches of St. Peter (San Pietro) and St. Lawrence (San Lorenzo), and excursions to the marine grottos on the neighbouring island of Palmaria, make this a real paradise for tourists visiting the Italian Riviera.
Strongly recommended for its excellent wines and the renowned quality of the local food.
