Portofino is a fusion of colors, tranquility, and sea… lose yourself in the charming alleys of this little fishing village on the Italian Riviera with this shore excursion for cruisers.
Take advantage of your cruise stop in Savona, the port from which the bus departs with our Shore2Shore guide, heading towards Santa Margherita Ligure, a small, well-known, and elegant town on the Ligurian coast.
After visiting its magnificent church dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch, a Baroque-style work, we will head to the town center characterized by small typical shops where we will enjoy some free time.
A 15-minute ferry ride to Portofino offers us a unique panoramic view of the Portofino promontory, declared a Natural Park since 1935.
Portofino is a town steeped in maritime traditions, and here we find numerous places of cultural interest. Upon arrival in Portofino, our local guide will accompany us to the Church of San Giorgio, dedicated to the town’s protector “Saint George” and built in the 12th century. Its interior houses relics brought by sailors returning from the Crusades.
From here we can admire Castello Brown, a fortress amidst a fantastic hanging garden, and the entire gulf that surrounds the beautiful and colorful houses of Portofino.
We will enjoy free time to wander the alleys of Portofino at our own pace and visit the exclusive brand shops located around the bay.
On returning to Santa Margherita, we will take our coach again to return to Savona.
The order of the places to visit may change due to the guide’s organization and/or traffic needs and/or other circumstances.
