Portofino, Italy
Trip Type: Day Trips
Duration: 1 day
A fantastic way to discover the Portofino's Coast is doing the most famous trek: Portofino to San Fruttuoso (2.5-hours) in the Portofino National Park. You will visit the world famous Portofino Village and also walk through the superb park that reaches 600 meters in height above the sea. Moreover, you will be one of the few to see San Fruttuoso, a small fishing village in an enchanting bay that hosts an old abbey more then 1000 years old (not always open); the abbey is nestled in blue crystal water and you'll get the chance to swim above the Christ of the Deep at some 20 meters in the deep sea. The trekking is wonderful, up to the mountain above Portofino, passing by splendid secluded villas, great trees, flowers, listening to singing birds; then down to San Fruttuoso. A full packet lunch meal is provided in San Fruttuoso. We proceed by boat to Camogli, another "pearl" of the Coast where you can enjoy a glass of prosecco and eat some of the best focaccia with Cheese in the area.
