What to do and see in Portofino, Liguria: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

August 4, 2021 Nicolette Lion

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.

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.
