Portovenere is a characteristic medieval village and with its coloured, narrow high houses, the Genoese Castle, the St. Pietro Church on the steep cliff, it unites an illustrious history with the charm of 'finis terrae'. It is a picturesque village established during the Roman period on a rocky peninsula surrounded by the sea. The legend tells that the 'Beauty godness' was fascinated by a so great natural masterpiece. To visit: San Pietro church (1277), Byron's Grotto, the castle and San Lorenzo church. To taste fresh fish at dinner on the 'calata' (quay).
