One day itinerary in Portofino

If you're visiting the charming coastal town of Portofino, there are a number of things you must do. While you're here, don't miss the San Martino church and the Brown Castle. You can also go hiking or swimming in the Ligurian Sea.

San Martino church

If you are looking for one of the most picturesque spots on the Ligurian coast, Portofino is the place to be. The small town is located right on the sea, and you can take a ferry to other places along the Riviera. While you're there, make sure to explore the artistic side of town. You'll find beautiful paintings inside many of the churches. You'll also find new neighborhoods to visit and great foods to try.

San Martino church

One of the most beautiful spots in the town is San Fruttuoso Abbey. The stunningly beautiful building is located in a cove, accessible only by boat or on foot. Regular boats leave from Portofino and take about 30 minutes to arrive there. Alternatively, you can take the overland route, which takes about 90 minutes.

Swimming in the Ligurian sea

The Ligurian sea is a popular destination for swimming, but it is important to note that the area is quite rocky, so visitors should take special care when swimming. The rocks can obstruct your way until you are far out in the sea. Although the coast is famously beautiful, you should avoid swimming if you are unable to swim well in the current.

One of the most famous beaches in the area is that of Portofino, and it is the birthplace of Italian diving. You may also want to head over to Arenzano, which is home to many great shipwrecks. The western coast of Liguria is less popular than the eastern coast, so if you're looking for less crowded waters, consider swimming at one of these locations instead.

Villa Beatrice in Portofino

The walk from the SML to the village of Paraggi is 5.4 km or about 3 miles long. It follows the shore, although the path is not entirely paved. There is a 50-foot section with no sidewalk, so walkers must pay special attention to the path. At the end of the walk, they will arrive at Paraggi, a perfect cove with a number of services. It is also the beach where the famous novel "Love in Portofino" was set.
