The area is known for its mild climate which makes popular areas such as the villages of Cinque Terre, Portofino and Portovenere prime travel destinations for much of the year.

You will then stop at the Benedictine Abbey in San Fruttuoso, a Gothic complex perched on the coastline. The fishing village of Camogli will be your next stop before taking the train back to Rapallo for the night.
After a good night’s rest and breakfast at your hotel, you’ll meet your tour guide at the train station for a half day guided excursion to Sestri Levante, home of the Bay of Fairy Tales, named in honor of Hans Christian Anderson, who lived there for a period of time.
