- by wheretogo_in On our second day in Portovenere, we went on a day trip to the stunning Cinque Terre. I loved the boat ride, you get such stunning views of the Ligurian Coast, you wish you’d never have to get off! And you really get a glimpse of mankind’s ingenious and creativity. Our first stop was Vernazza, which was jaw-dropping beautiful and extremely unique. As the boat docked, we went on a stroll on the main piazza and found such a lively atmosphere. Packed restaurants, people taking pictures of the magical scenery, shops selling beautiful artisanal clothes and products, and just that
- by wheretogo_in My trip to Portovenere ans Cinque Terre was definitely a culinary one! Ligurian cuisine is mostly known for its internationally-renowned sauce: Pesto! For those that don’t know what pesto is, it’s a fresh green sauce made with basil, garlic, parmesan, pine nuts and olive oil. And yes, it’s served with pasta (usually trofie, a short, thin, twisted pasta from Liguria)! Another famous Ligurian food is Focaccia, a flat oven-baked bread that resembles pizza that just leaves you craving for more. But we’re on the seaside here, which means that Portovenere & Cinque Terre have amazing seafood restaurants! Click on the
- by wheretogo_in The Cinque Terre are know for their rocky coastline and unique villages splashed with colors. But if you want to go for a swim, it's not extremely easy! While you can rent boats and dive into the sea, sometimes you'll miss a plain old beach to lie down and soak under the sun! If that's what you need, head to Monterosso, the farthest Cinque Terre village from Portovenere for a relaxing day at the beach! . . . . . . . #monterosso #myliguria #liguriansea #liguria_super_pics #igersliguria #thelifestylecollective #searchwandercollect #bellaitalia #golfodeipoeti #italytrip #italy_vacations #italiainunoscatto #forbestravelguide #summerdestination #postcardsfromitaly #visititaly #visititalia #simplepleasures
- by wheretogo_in Dotted along the Ligurian coastline overlooking the Bay of Poets lies the jaw-dropping Portovenere. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this pearl of the Ligurian region offers stunning panoramas that can be admired from scenic viewpoints. It comes as no surprise that famous poets sought inspiration for their works in this magical place.

- by wheretogo_in If you've never heard of Portovenere, you're not the only one. While hoards of tourists flock to the famous Cinque Terre on the Ligurian Riviera, the picturesque Portovenere remains less crowded, and definitely Liguria's best-kept secret. I spent a long weekend in this stunning seaside town and I have completely fallen in love with it. The town is a splash of colors, the sea is crystal clear and the views jaw-dropping. Not to mention the delicious local cuisine that comes at a bargain in comparison to other places! Portovenere has it all: history, culture, views, food and beautiful waters perfect
- by wheretogo_in There’s no doubt that Italy is one of the most beautiful countries on Earth. From sensational views to picturesque towns and an amazing landscape, the Italian peninsula has a lot to offer, all year long. And during summer, Italy is one of the most beautiful places to visit, offering a myriad of destinations. But there is one destination in particular that has been kept under the radar. A secret island located just off the Lazio coast, very close to Rome. It’s Ponza Island, the Island where real Italians vacation, where every Roman has been to at least once in their
- by wheretogo_in I recently came back from a spectacular long weekend in Umbria and I gotta say, the more I spend time in the “green heart of Italy” the more I fall in love with it. You’ve probably noticed that I spend quite a lot of time in Umbria. It’s because I also have Umbrian origins, and a spectacular family home in Assisi! My grandfather’s family was from Umbria but lived in Rome. During WWII, my grandfather was sent to live in Assisi for safety reasons, and since then, he eternally fell in love with Umbria. So ever since I can remember,
