Detailed itinerary

A few kilometers from Portofino is one of the most popular Ligurian tourist destinations, Rapallo, in the center of the Gulf of Tigullio. Since the nineteenth century, it has been loved by famous writers such as William Butler Yeats and Ernest Hemingway. The Vittorio Veneto seafront is framed by Liberty palaces

Santa Margherita Ligure is a beautiful resort on the Ligurian Riviera of the East, known as the "Pearl of Tigullio", renowned for its elegance, historic villas, lush gardens and picturesque seafront, offering a mix of crystal clear sea, luxury and maritime tradition.
You can admire it while sailing.

We will move on to the street of the Portofino Lighthouse, iconic and majestic lighthouse that stands on the most extreme rocky tip of the Portofino promontory.

San Fruttuoso di Camogli is a rare pearl set in the southern slope of the Portofino Promontory. A very small and picturesque fishing village accessible only by sea or through the steep paths of the “Monte”. Few houses, an Abbey of the tenth century, a medieval tower erected to defend the village and its water source, a statue underwater (the Christ of the Abyss).
Here time seems to stand still, life flows slowly. Nature and history merge in a unique landscape, the scent of Mediterranean scrub and the singing of cicadas complete the work.
