Description
On this Online Experience, we will explore Porto Venere, one of the most popular places along the Italian Riviera. A fishing village full of art and history located near Cinque Terre, it was built as a fortress overlooking three beautiful islands on the Ligurian Sea.
We will begin this virtual tour with a breathtaking view of the island known as Palmaria. Next, walking through the main street of Porto Venere, which is known by the name "Caruggio," we will take in the idyllic atmosphere and explore some of the highlights of this romantic place. First, admire the beautiful Church of St. Peter. Then, walk down to the dockyard and visit the seafront, both of which look out on breathtaking views over the water.
As we explore, I will tell you about some interesting facts relating to Porto Venere. During this tour, we will also witness how the local "pesto" sauce is made with basil, and witness how a good "focaccia" is made.
I look forward to taking you around this quaint village and sharing its superb history and culture with you!

Diego Savani
I was born in La Spezia near Porto Venere and Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera.
I studied Art History in Milano and am a qualified and licensed tour guide, and have been part of the Cinque Terre National Park guides since 2017. I have written a couple of guide books about the area, so you could say I'm something of a local expert.
I would love to show you around the many gorgeous towns on the Italian Riviera.
