Sestri Levante

The small Bay of Silence (Baia del Silenzio) is considered one of the most beautiful in the region. Just opposite is the larger, so-called fairytale bay (Baia delle Favole).

Sestri Levante is also known as the 'city on two seas' because of its old town, which is nestled in an enchanting and unique landscape. The charming coastal village boasts an extremely mild climate, wonderfully colorful houses, narrow streets, swaying fishing boats on crystal-clear water, extensive parks and local delicacies, a true intoxication for all the senses.

In addition to the Cinque Terre, there is also a beautiful panoramic hiking trail through Mediterranean vegetation, which takes you up Monte Castelle and to Punta Manara. You will be rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view of the Gulf of Tigullio.

Narrow, winding alleyways, historic palazzi and cosy trattorias invite you to take a stroll. Here you can sample regional specialities and experience the authentic Italian way of life.

Spectacular hikes start from Sestri Levante with views of the azure blue sea, such as the panoramic trail to Punta Manara. Nature, fresh sea breezes and magnificent views make every tour unforgettable.

Boats depart from the harbour of Sestri Levante to other beautiful places on the coast in high season. The boats connect Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure, Sestri Levante and Portofino. Just a short boat trip away, you will find the sophisticated Portofino with its luxurious harbour promenade and the charming Santa Margherita Ligure with its elegant villas and Mediterranean gardens. Discover the dreamlike coastal landscape, enjoy an aperitivo with a sea view and stroll through the picturesque alleyways of these exclusive towns.
