Liguria is one of the most beautiful regions in Italy, with stunning coastline along the Italian Riviera, and dramatic inland natural scenery. The food and wine is fabulous, too!
Here are ten wonderful reasons why you will fall in love with Liguria:
1. Portofino
2. Pesto
3. Monterosso
4. Foccacia
5. Dolceaqua
6. Camogli
7. The Val d´Aveto
8. Portovenere
9. San Fruttuoso
10. Vernazza
and extravirgin olive oil, great wines made with local grapes, taggiasche olives, Genoa and its aquarium … uhm, I am craving to go back there!!!
And the walking paths under the olive trees between Corniglia and Vernazza and Vernazza to Monterosso, Alessandra Puppo’s art gallery with her colourful naif paintings in Camogli, boat rides along the coasts of Cinque Terre and from Camogli to Portofino. I love Liguria!
Other good reasons:
- Hiking at Monte di Portofino, enjoy spectacular views, have lunch in one of the restaurants’ terrace
- Visit Genoa historical centre and the small charactestic streets leading to the harbour
- Discover Sestri Levante promontory
- Taste a glass of Bianchetta, one of the best local white wines
Cheers!
