Chiavari has long sandy-gravel and pebble beaches, a large Marina, seaside broadwalk with gardens and flowers for an evening promenade.This beautiful coastline offers elegant seaside resorts such as Santa Margherita, Rapallo with golf club, riding center and cultural events, Zoagli a small cosy serene beauty, Sestri Levante in the Bay of Silence, two arms of the sea embracing a village suspended in blue. Last but not least: Portofino, which does not need to be introduced to you: the rich and the beautiful ( and you) in the little harbour for an aperitive, cappucino or meal.
Chiavari is a typical Ligurian City, good shopping, good restaurants, historic Cathedral, and the well known antique market, and daily fruit market, Wonderful speciality food shops (but also convenience supermarkets too)
East of the Tigullia bay is the national park "Cinque Terre" which is best reached by train (30 minutes from Chiavari), five miles of rocky shore, thousands of kilometres dry stone walls,famous vinyards, five "Cinque" little villages "Terre" once only possible to reach by sea. The dramatic coast falling to the sea with cliffs which are often vertical, enchanting beaches among the rocks, the world renowned trail connecting the villages.
