Day 5 - Portofino
Cruise to Portofino today, a colourful fishing village
surrounded by olive groves and set on a rocky outcrop. Portofino's
charm lies in its isolated tranquility, your first glimpse of the
village is memorable, especially when approaching by boat. Enjoy
free time to stroll along the sheltered harbour, where yachts and
sailing boats are surrounded by a jumble of pastel pink and yellow
houses. You could stop for lunch at a pavement café, sampling some
fresh local seafood. Continue to San Fruttuoso, one of Italy's most
beautiful beaches, nestled in a cove and boasting a small
Benedictine monastery. This magical spot is only accessible by boat
or hiking trail, and you have time to soak up its secluded
charms.
If weather conditions mean the boat can't land at San
Fruttuoso, you'll land at Santa Margherita instead, a tranquil,
picture-perfect village bursting with old-fashioned Italian
charm.
