Portofino

Italy

Portofino is a tiny harbor village on the Italian Riviera in Liguria, set in a cove of pastel houses beneath a wooded headland. A fishing village that became the most famous small harbor in the Mediterranean, it epitomizes Riviera elegance. Attractions include the harbor's painted facades and yachts, Castello Brown above the bay, the church of San Giorgio, the lighthouse walk, the protected marine park's diving, and boat trips to the abbey of San Fruttuoso in its secluded cove.
