Beautiful path in the woods that avoids walking on the road to/from Portofino: moreover, the path is in the shade, with the presence of water and very few climbs.

Portofino Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

Portofino is a jewel of the Ligurian Levant, a very popular destination for tourists. The gulf is enriched by many small boats floating on the sea and an infinity of colorful facades of stately homes. Everything is harmonious and wonderful.

View of Punta Caiega

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the pedestrian area that starts from Paraggi and arrives in Portofino. Once in the village, in low season and on not very hot days, I recommend continuing to the Portofino lighthouse

Great and safe spot for some cliff jumping. Water is clear and plenty deep without much of a swell. Roughly an 8 meter jump from the sidewalk and maybe 2-5 meters from the rocks below.

probably the title means "the smugglers' route used with the Mulinis" ? but the donkeys would also have had a lot of work to do here 😎

Super easy walk with super nice views and passages. Better if done early, since the area is very touristic and there is a lot of people. Paraggi is a nice spot to have a break and enjoy the transparent sea water. If you can buy some focaccia directly at Santa Margherita Ligure and enjoy it on the way (in one …
We went back to Santa Margherita by ship. A very nice trip.

Leaving S.Margherita ligure the most beautiful part begins which leads to the beautiful but tiny beach of Paraggi...swimming is a must with transparent water...just above the path of the kiss starts, all in the shade of the holm oaks to get in Portofino...the alternative is a very narrow and busy paved road...return by bus, well served! It's better to download …

Almost every time we were on holiday here, a visit to the world-famous former fishing village of Portofino, which has now become unaffordable for retirees, was part of our itinerary. It always involved a hike, of course. The most beautiful tour is undoubtedly the coastal path from Camogli, secured in places with ropes, via the San Fruttuoso monastery to Portofino. …

all in all - fucking overrated with shitty service and unjustified prices...

been there, done that ✔️
A walk from Santa Margherita di Ligure to Rapallo is always possible! Fantastic panorama on the coastal road, boats in the bay and Portofino anyway! 😍
