La Spezia and the “Gulf of Poets”

La Spezia and the “Gulf of Poets”, Cinque Terre, Portovenere, Lerici and Sarzana: a stretch of Ligurian Riviera characterized by plenty of colours, fascinating and unique, a succession of rugged coast, crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, beaches and ancient medieval villages overlooking the sea and surrounded by wild nature. An area consisting of natural parks, protected marine zones, a territory listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. These places are characterized by kilometres of pristine coastline and offer visitors breath-taking views over the Gulf, a comprehensive network of walking trails, fascinating sanctuaries perched above the sea, countless dry stone walls that form terraces for the cultivation of vines and olive trees, places where nature seems to have unleashed all its wilderness and creativity, etc..

A holiday in our territory is not just sun and beach, as there are plenty of exciting options and activities for everyone, a real active holiday. You can opt for a swim in the sea or a walk among vineyards overlooking the Gulf; a visit to ancient hamlets and historical alleyways or a boat trip, a pilgrimage to a sanctuary or diving; you can choose to venture and climb dramatic cliffs suspended over the endless blue sea or enjoy a succulent seafood meal, practice mountain bike or windsurf.
A comprehensive network of walking trails (covering the whole area and linking it also with inland valleys) represents a wonderful opportunity to discover this territory on foot, wandering around with your camera, equipped with trekking shoes or, alternatively, a mountain-bike.
