Last updated: 2024 Jun 14Morning
Start your day by taking a boat tour along the coast of Portovenere, where you will witness amazing views of the cliffs, the crystal clear water, and the colorful houses against the backdrop of the Ligurian Sea. You can also stop by the island of Palmaria and explore its hidden coves and beaches.
Afternoon
After the boat tour, walk around the historic center of Portovenere and visit the church of San Lorenzo, a Romanesque church with a beautiful black and white striped fa ade. Stop by the Grotta dell Arpaia, a natural cave where you can see the remains of a Roman column and a medieval altar. End the afternoon by climbing up to the castle of Doria, a fortress that offers a stunning panoramic view over the town and the sea.
Morning
Take a day trip to Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that consists of five colorful fishing villages perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. You can take a train from La Spezia to Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost village, and then hike along the famous Sentiero Azzurro, a scenic trail that connects the villages and offers breathtaking views of the sea and the vineyards. You can also take a dip in the sea at one of the beaches along the way.
Afternoon
After hiking, explore the narrow alleys and the pastel-colored houses of the villages, and sample the local delicacies such as pesto, focaccia, and seafood. You can also visit the churches and the medieval fortifications that dot the landscape.
Morning
Spend your last day in Portovenere by taking a walk along the promenade that starts from the church of San Pietro and leads to the lighthouse, passing by the Torre del Castello and the church of San Lorenzo. You can also take a dip in the sea at one of the small beaches along the way.
Afternoon
After the walk, visit the Byron s Grotto, a natural cave that was named after the English poet Lord Byron who used to swim here. The cave is accessible by boat or on foot, and offers a magical atmosphere with its turquoise water and the stalactites hanging from the ceiling.
