Discover Portofino area

  • Walk along sea-side promenades in pastel painted towns 

  • Take a boat trip to nearby fishing villages and swimming coves 

  • Walk through the Portofino Natural Park 

The Ligurian towns near Portofino are an exciting mix of glamour and wealth, and down-to-earth, rustic charm; from the ‘dolce vita’ of Portofino itself, to Rapallo, popular with holidaying Italian families. Walking in the Portofino National Park reminds you that there's still a lot of rural land around these picture-perfect towns, just a stone's throw from the coast. Exploring on foot is a great way to get to know the real Liguria, where farmers still work on the land and old farm houses stand strong in the middle of the countryside. 

It’s also a good base for discovering the Ligurian coastline by boat, while a guided sea kayaking experience is a unique way to explore the protected waters and coastal scenery of the Portofino Marine Park. Slower pace preferred? No problem. Add something different to your day with a paddleboard along the coast.
