Experience Details*

Discover the thoroughly evocative setting of Portovenere and her three island gems.

Sit back and savour the spellbinding scenery en route to Portovenere, a picturesque 12th-century fishing village located within the Cinque Terre National Park. Boasting a proud UNESCO pedigree, this enchanting town is filled with tall pastel-coloured houses stretching from the harbour to the hilltop castle.  From here, embark on a panoramic boat tour to take in the dramatic vistas of the cliff-lined shores of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, as well as Portovenere from the sea. Then return to Portovenere for some free time to explore.
