Liguria

Cinque Terre, Portofino and the Riviera

Liguria is a narrow arc of coast between the mountains and the sea. Its most famous stretch is the Cinque Terre, five coloured villages linked by footpaths and terraced vineyards, followed by Portofino, Camogli and the Gulf of Poets around Lerici and Portovenere.

Genoa, an old maritime republic, has one of the largest historic centres in Europe, and the Riviera di Ponente to the west offers sandy beaches and medieval villages like Finale Ligure. Don't leave without trying pesto, focaccia and farinata.
