Day 5 - Portofino
Cruise to Portofino, a colourful fishing village surrounded by
olive groves and set on a rocky outcrop. Somewhat hidden from the
rest of the world, the first glimpse of the village is a truly
memorable sight, especially when approached by boat. Enjoy free
time to stroll along the sheltered harbour, home to yachts and
sailing boats and backed by a jumble of pastel pink and yellow
houses. Perhaps grab lunch in a pavement café, sampling some of the
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 here 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
charms.
