Tour Highlights
Full Description
Immerse yourself in the picturesque fishing village of Camogli, one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. The summer retreat where well-heeled Milanese families return to get their annual dose of sunshine and pesto.
A typical seaside village, an hour’s drive up the Ligurian coast from the Cinque Terre and like the five towns there, with magnificent pink, yellow and terra-cottas houses intricately tied to the sea, with deep-green shutters framed by trompe l’oeil flourishes.
Follow your foodie guide to the most beloved bakeries, wine shops, cafés and restaurants to taste our local fares and learn about the culture and food of this enchanting village.
Stroll the photogenic terraced streets winding down to a perfect cove of pebble beach and mix with the community at the small marina filled with fishing boats where locals like to gather and enjoy the view.
