Top 6 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Portofino, Liguria

August 24, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

One of the most popular resort towns on the Italian Riviera, little Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes on summer days when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbor to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets. Diving, hiking and beach-going are popular local pastimes, and there are even some historic sights like the Church of St. Martin (Divo Martino) and the Castello Brown hilltop fortress.

Reviewed By 896JanK896 - Warwick, United Kingdom

Arrived by ferry from Santa Margherita. Saw the Skyfall yacht in the harbour worth 31.5 million. Walked around the marina, had cocktails and gelato, saw the Ferraris in the square, did some expensive shopping, walked up to Castello Brown and admired the views. Left by ferry again but would have loved to have experienced an evening there. Bucket list tick.

Chiesa di San Martino

Reviewed By MarkN533 - Lake Zurich, United States

As you look up from the waterfront in the tiny seaside village of Portofino, you spot what looks like a small church on the hillside. There you find a steep slope with red colored bricks in the center that leads up to the church. After navigating about 20 steps, you are in front of the church that is close to 500 years old. From the outside, it is a modest looking building with horizontal markings that are found on many Italian churches of that era. I was mesmerized by the beautiful frescoes and chandeliers, as well as the massive columns connected by arch openings.
