  9. Because of its ‘carrugi‘ and its cats. These are the streets and lanes very typical of Liguria. Narrow and shaded, they protect from the sun in summer and from the wind in winter, they make it easy to chat with your neighbor across the way, and very welcoming for the cats which you will see many! By the way they are very friendly! This is truly a place you feel good in and you will always want to come backPortevenere - misterious and surprising
  10. Because it is mysterious and surprising. The more you walk through it the more beautiful things you discover…I started with the promenade, walked by the sea and loved the view, then I discovered the sandy beach and was happy to see people having a space while enjoying the sun. Then I walk a bit further and saw the boats which can take you to the islands and this is not all. Further on I was passing beach bars and terrace restaurants with affordable menu. And then I got speechless once I approached the little hill, old castle, caves and had a chance to admire the spectacular panoramic view, Then once I wanted a small souvenir and postcards I discovered lovey narrow Italian streets and….’Pasta Curtain’ shop (don’t ask…just find it yourself)Why you have to visit Portovenere 1

    1. Thanks for your feedback. For me Portovenere is even better than Cinque Terre! So it should be a destination for holidays rather than a stop on a way to Cinque Terre. Anyway Italy is beautiful!
