Portovenere
A typical medieval village situated in the western end of the Gulf, with its rock-houses, Genova castle and St.Peter Church overhanging the sea, it joins the charm of the "finis terrae" with a distinguished history". Today Portovenere is loved from the tourists that visit it for its simple but very suggestive landscapes, for the many colors of its house-towers situated on parallel lines and even for the amenity of its alleys. In front of Portovenere we find the it island of Palmaria, connected to the land through ferries from La Spezia, from Lerici and from the same portovenere. Portovenere has, perhaps, lost its peculiarities of seafaring suburb to become a touristic center of notable interest.
