About this excursion

Continue along the panoramic coastal road to Portofino, Italy’s iconic fishing village turned glamorous resort, where colorful houses surround the famous Piazzetta.

Stroll through the harbor, admire the Church of San Giorgio with its breathtaking views, and enjoy the charm of Castello Brown from afar. On the way back, stop in elegant Santa Margherita Ligure, framed by palm trees, gardens, and painted façades.

Highlights include Piazza Caprera, the Basilica of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia, and the picturesque harbor. The itinerary is flexible, with time for lunch or shopping according to your preferences.
