The Journey
Palmaria Island
Palmaria, the largest island in the Portovenere archipelago, beckons with its rugged beauty and historical intrigue. Explore the weathered ruins of Torre Scola, a sea-bound fortress that once guarded the coastline. Discover secluded coves and pristine beaches accessible only by boat, offering irresistible opportunities for swimming in crystal-clear waters. Marvel at the island's dramatic cliffs and delve into hidden caves, each a testament to Palmaria's untamed allure. Once used for quarrying marble and later as a military base, Palmaria now offers visitors a unique blend of natural splendor and historical significance.
Tinos Island
Tinos, the second largest of the three islands, holds a spiritual significance and echoes of a storied past. Discover its prominent lighthouse guiding ships through the Ligurian Sea, and delve into the legend of the island's protecting saint. Explore the evocative ruins of ancient monasteries and former war stations, whispering tales of bygone eras. While much smaller than Palmaria, Tinos offers a serene escape and a glimpse into the region's diverse history, providing a tranquil contrast to the more bustling mainland.
Tinetto Island
Tinetto, the smallest of the three islands, is guarded by Stella Maris, a statue of the Virgin Mary erected on a sea-emerged rock, offering silent protection to passing sailors. This tiny isle, a jewel in the Ligurian Sea, features the ruins of an ancient monastery, a testament to its historical religious significance. The juxtaposition of nature, art, and faith makes Tinetto a serene and compelling destination. While access may be limited, the visual spectacle of Stella Maris against the backdrop of the sea leaves a lasting impression.
Lord Byron's Bay
Tucked behind the promontory of Portovenere lies the picturesque Lord Byron's Bay, named after the famous English poet who, according to local legend, found inspiration in its captivating beauty. The bay's tranquil waters and dramatic cliffs create an intimate and idyllic setting. Imagine yourself transported back in time as you soak in the same views that inspired Byron's verse. The bay offers a secluded retreat from the more bustling areas of Portovenere, making it a perfect spot for contemplation and relaxation.
Portovenere Sunset Aperitivo
Indulge in a quintessential Italian experience with an aperitivo in front of Portovenere. Relax on board as you savor a selection of focaccia, prosecco, soft drinks, and delectable snacks. As the sun dips below the horizon, witness the breathtaking spectacle of the sunset painting the sky behind the iconic Church of San Pietro, perched dramatically on the cliff overlooking the sea. This sensory feast combines the flavors of Italy with the stunning natural beauty of the Ligurian coast, creating an unforgettable moment.
