Celebrate the jet-setting village of Portofino and stop in Santa Margherita Ligure, where you’ll see the town’s gracious Baroque basilica, on this unforgettable tour. Drive to Santa Margherita Ligure and board a boat for the picturesque journey to iconic Portofino, a tiny hamlet where pastel-hued narrow buildings vie for space along the narrow harbor. During time on your own, you might visit the quaint church that houses the relics of Saint George, which were brought to Portofino by sailors returning from the Crusades. Perhaps you’ll climb the path to the lighthouse, whose position at the tip of a verdant outcropping jutting toward the sea offers truly brilliant vistas. Wander among beautiful villas and their colorful gardens or simply relax by the waterfront, absorbing Portofino’s breathtaking setting. After browsing Portofino’s inviting boutiques, you’ll sail back to Santa Margherita Ligure and view the delicate exterior of the Baroque Chiesa di Santa Margherita d’Antiochia, which is flanked by two elegant steeples. On this remarkable day of discovery, you’ll surely understand why royal families, politicians, wealthy industrialists and movie stars flock to this glamorous corner of Italy.
