Liguria is home to one of Italy's most spectacular coastlines, where colorful villages cling to dramatic cliffs, crystal clear water meets the Mediterranean, and centuries of maritime tradition continue to shape everyday life.
In Episode 7 of our Italy Summer Secrets series, join Katerina Ferrara as we explore far beyond the famous Cinque Terre to discover the hidden beaches, elegant seaside resorts, fishing villages, unforgettable festivals, and breathtaking boat journeys that make Liguria one of Italy's most rewarding summer destinations.
Travel from the historic Maritime Republic of Genoa to the Italian Riviera, explore charming Camogli, Santa Margherita Ligure, Sestri Levante, Finale Ligure, and romantic Tellaro, then experience the Cinque Terre from the sea on an unforgettable private boat excursion.
Along the way you'll discover:
• Why seeing the Cinque Terre by boat completely changes the experience
• The five Cinque Terre villages from Riomaggiore to Monterosso al Mare
• Camogli and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso
• Santa Margherita Ligure as one of Liguria's best home bases
• Tellaro, one of Italy's most beautiful hidden villages
• Portofino, Porto Venere, and the Gulf of Poets
• The Palio del Golfo, Festa della Madonna Bianca, and Liguria's spectacular summer festivals
• Boat trips, ferries, hiking trails, swimming coves, and whale watching
