Portovenere

From sunning yourself on stunning beaches to climbing rugged cliffs or sightseeing in ancient alleyways,  find out what not to miss when sailing around Portovenere, Italy.

The main street, Via Giovanni Capellini, is a narrow passage flanked by gelaterias, boutiques, and souvenir shops. You’ll also find a few low key places to eat, like La Bottega del Pesto, which serves up fresh pasta with homemade pesto.

Take the stairs down to the waterfront, or take them up to the San Lorenzo Church. You’ll also find hidden courtyards and gardens as you climb.
