Genoa is the capital of Liguria and centers around the Italian Riviera. Some of the most popular regions of the coast are the natural parks of Cinque Terre and the celebrity destination of Portofino. The Liguria stretches a semi-circle around the Ligurian Sea, enabling you to make your way toward Genoa so that you would eventually visit Lavaga, Spezia, Viareggio, and Livorno with your preferred vessel.
You can rent a sailboat in Genoa and cross the Riviera di Levante. Lavagna is the main seaside and tourist-favorite place, due to the courtesy of its fantastic sand beach occupying an area of many kilometers. Not only that, but you can also relish yourself in the amazing tourist ports of Tigullio and Liguria, as well as visit historical monuments with a very important background. The center is crossed by the Carruggio, which opens up to Piazza Marconi, enriched by Santo Stefano Basilica, while the Via Roma is a commercial hub of Lavagna with traditional streets and medieval-style gates. It is also known for being an ideally nice and tidy town where fresh fish and manicaretti are served in multiple food places.
A sailing trip in Genoa will allow you to line up your vessel by the glittering harbor of Portofino and spot many dolphins and whales along the way. Portofino is a celebrity destination with pastel-colored houses stacked up on the hills, a charming town with panoramic views from its historic center, known as Castello Brown, and a range of restaurants and bars by the famous Piazzetta. Another name of gorgeousness is the province of Spezia which is filled with beaches that combine mesmerizing transparent water with fabulous landscapes, whereas its rural life has built-in lush valleys with renowned ancient symbols. La Spezia is a great two-day cruise from Genoa and is a little farther than Portofino and the seaside town of Santa Margherita Ligure. La Spezia features a coastal terrain with mammoth cliffs, pine meadows, shorelines, and the sensation of the villages tied with the rocks, creating unprecedented scenes.
You can resume your sailing tour in Genoa at Viareggio, known for its family-friendly beaches and forests. You can also go for a walk along the beautiful seafront.
