One of the prettiest towns to visit if you're wanting to get away from the crowds. Enjoy the Piazza with its assortment of quant little shops offering something different to the large department stores. The photo opportunities here are limitless. Even the amateur photograher can get stunning shots here. The village is reached easily by public bus with a regular timetable.

Lerici and its dominating castle, built to a typically Genovese design is situated just inside the province of Liguria. Splendid views can be gained over the town and its harbour and of the Lerici Gulf and further across towards Portovenere. Painting and other Exhibitions are quite frequently held inside the castle.

Parco Naturale Regionale di Porto Venere must be one of the most beautiful natural areas we have visited. The mountain, the sea, the houses on the cliffs and on the coast, the cafes and the restaurants, and the hospitable locals, and the nice non-locals, make this a really great place to visit. This has to be experienced to be truly appreciated. We went there for one day and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Porto Venere is a remarkably stunning place.

I liked Portovenere better than the CinqueTerra towns! It was beautiful, with lovely views of the Med Sea, and little areas to walk and churches to see and lovely places to eat! Portovenere can be used as a jumping-off spot for seeing CT. From here, we rented a boat (and driver) and drove by all of CT, stopping at 3 of the towns. Still, lunch by the sea in Portovenere cannot be beat!

If you're looking for something different, mainly out of the tourist season, you must be there! My suggestion is to reach this beautiful black beach walking down from Monte Marcello, in this way it will be possible to appreciate the nature and the smooth approaching to the sea.
8. Mamagamma

Mamagamma nasce dall’idea, dalla volontà, di creare un "attivatore" artistico/culinario che utilizzi come spunto di partenza il cabaret Voltaire famoso locale con intenzioni artistiche, fondato a Zurigo nel 1916 dal Hugo Ball e da Emmy Hennings, considerato universalmente la culla del dadaismo.

Suprising new tastes, 14 starters and one secondi for 28€, 1/4 wine and desert. Very very nice interior. Wide range of music, some I would say not suited for normal restaurants. But this is a sort of rebellion artistic restaurant / community hub. Would recommend for food and atmosfere.

Very nice rustic and elegant cantine. Professional staff speaking several languages and very helpful. Bosoni produces the best vermentino in Italy and sells it to a good price too. If you buy boxes, 6 or 12 bottles, you get a big discount. You can also fill your own bottle at a price of approx. €2 per litre. Also the red wines are perfect, try Nicolo V Riserva.
10. San Pietro Church

I believe this church dates back to the 1200's. The walk up to the church is very interesting, with the Grotta Byron on the right as you approach the church. The inside of the church was simple, and the views from the top were incredible. We took the ferry to Porto Venere, and the view of the church from the water was impressive.
