Boat trip to Portofino
Periods: March, April, May, until mid-June, from mid-September, October.
You will reach Pegli by bus, then board speedboats and sail through the gulf, along the coast of Genoa and, with a bit of luck, see whales and dolphins. After approximately 1,5 to 2 hours, you arrive in Portofino, a small village with colourful tower houses lining the harbour with elegant luxury yachts.
In any case, it is worth making a diversion to the parish church of the local saint of San Giorgio to enjoy the breathtaking view, with a bird's eye view, of Portofino and its bay. Continuing on, you will be attracted by small painting galleries, irresistible boutique exhibitions and, of course, the cosy street cafés.
There, you just have to try the 'Paciugo' ice cream flavour (vanilla, strawberry, whipped cream and red fruits ice cream)! After two hours, return. Depending on the weather and the minimum number of participants, the excursion can be postponed to the next possible day or an alternative can be given.
