Pier Information
The ship is scheduled to anchor. Guests will be taken
ashore via the ship's tenders to the landing at the tiny harbor. The
whole of Portofino is within easy walking distance. Taxis are generally
available some 600 yards from the pier if you wish to take trips further
afield, but who would want to go anywhere? |
|
Shopping. There
bargains are to be found in finding items that might not be found, but
for the exclusivity of Portofino. Art Galleries feature the works of
many renowned artists who make Portofino their home. Some shops close
from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. |
|
Cuisine. Overlooking the
harbor are several trendy restaurants. Deluxe hotels offer a dining
experience which will be remembered for impeccable service and excellent
cuisine (reservations are required). Among the best-known is the Hotel
Splendido, located in a private park above Portofino, and Il Pitosforo
Restaurant overlooking the harbor. |

Other
Sights
Fortress and Church of San Giorgio.
Portofino's two prime historical sites are the church and the fortress
built as fortification against Turkish attacks. The church can be
reached by walking up a flight of steps, a rewarding experience for the
magnificent view over Portofino. The fortress can be visited on a
walking tour of the promontory.
Genoa. The city of Genoa is about a 40-minute drive away.
Here you find big-city life, old palaces, opulent churches and a
bustling commercial center.
Resorts. Local boats and public buses connect to other
popular resorts, such as Santa Margherita and Rapallo. Two miles out of
Portofino is Paraggi, where a sparkling cove is a good place for a swim.
Golf. Circolo Golf Club di
Rapallo. Ask on board. |
