Things to do in Genoa
Portofino is a small fishing village in the Liguria region of Italy on the Ligurian Sea. It is a popular yachting destination. One of the best things you can do in Portofino is relax. Walk around the small city, hear the sea, take a rest at the end of the left Marconi quay. There is a small wine bar where you have an occasion to drink something seated less than one meter from the sea. The walk to Santa Margherita is about 2 miles in each direction but is a relatively easy one in terms of inclines.
