Ligúria

Ligúria is a long, thin coastal strip nestling at the foot of olive- and vine-clad mountains. The Italian Riviera boasts an abundance of sandy beaches and charming seaside villages, while inland the mountain resorts offer plenty of walking and a respite from the crowds.

Ligúria divides neatly into two distinct stretches of coastline: to the west is the Riviera di Ponente and to the east is the Riviera Levante. Between the two lies Genoa, Italy’s biggest port. It has a fascinating old town with medieval alleyways, and numerous palaces and churches to explore. It was also once the home of Christopher Columbus. The surrounding hills offer a quiet retreat from the city: the picturesque Valle Scrivia has several hiking routes and is easily accessible from the small town of Casella.

Stretching across to the French border, the Riviera di Ponente has a number of places of interest: the pretty wine producing town of Dolceacqua; the pleasant resort of San Remo; the charming seafront village of Cervo; and the medieval hilltown of Toirano. There are more coastal resorts along the Riviera Levante including Portofino, the most exclusive harbour and resort town in Italy. With sandy beaches and small coves, this attractive area also offers good walking.

Further along is the coastline of the Cinque Terre (Five Lands). The name refers to five tiny villages which appear to cling dramatically to the edge of sheer cliffs: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manrola and Riomaggiore.

The region has four provinces: Genoa, Imperia, La Spezia and Savona.
