Tigullio.
From Sestri Levante to Santa Margherita Ligure, the Tigullio coastline is strewn with a trail of seaside resorts that have boasted a distinguished tourism tradition for over two hundred years. This area offers vast beaches providing full services and equipment to visitors, spacious, full-service harbours, cutting-edge sports facilities, and top-of-the-line, elegant accommodations. Along the Tigullio coastline, all this is combined with beautiful seascapes, bustling towns, and charming sea floors, lapped by favourable currents.

Sailing, surfing, horseback riding and golfing enthusiasts will find an ideal setting in which to practice their sports, both in the area's natural environment and its sports facilities. The coastline also teams with trendy clubs, shops and high quality handcrafts stores, thus making for enjoyable shopping and nightlife experiences.

Rapallo and Chiavari are actual cities, famous for both their thriving tourist trade and charming handcrafts, such as lace (to which Rapallo has devoted a museum), furniture (such as Chiavari's charming wooden chairs), and the traditional damask and velvet that Zoagli still produces to this day.

Santa Margherita, between Rapallo and Portofino, boasts hotels and conference centres of international fame. In Sestri Levante, the beauty of the Bay of Silence (baia del Silenzio) defies description, making it one of the most spectacular sights along the coast. The hills along the gulf are strewn with scenic views, beginning with the Sanctuary of Montallegro, which may be reached by means of Rapallo's convenient funicular railway.
