Meet our expert Local Guide at La Spezia railway station. Sail together by public motorboat to the ancient UNESCO-listed town of Portovenere. Transfer to a private boat for a tour around the Golfo dei Poeti (Poet’s Gulf), named for the many writers (Byron, Shelley, Keats, DH Lawrence) who were captivated by its beauty. You’ll pass colourful coastline villages like Lerici, forested cliffs dropping into the water, hidden grottos and stone fortresses built to deter pirates. Back in Portovenere, enjoy a guided tour that makes the past come alive, mirrored in its many historic churches and castles. Finally, enjoy a trattoria lunch of local specialties.
