Located between the Cinque Terra (60km) and Genova (60km), the Portofino peninsula encompassing Portofino, Santa Margherita, Camogli and Rapallo is a wonderful destination for those seeking easy access to beaches, lovely restaurants and the opportunity to explore the various villages without long distances. Each town has its own marina for boat rental or catching ferries and there are lovely walking trails leading through lovely forests to the ancient monastery, San Fruttoso and Punta Chiappa.
