Portovenere is the eastern end of the Cinque Terre and marks another real highlight.
With its view over the Gulf of Poeti in the direction of La Spezia, Lerici, Tellaro and the island of Palmaria and its impressive history, the place is a highlight that you should definitely visit.

Portovenere is located in the Liguria region in the province of La Spezia. The place got its name from the Romans, who called it Veneris Portus - Port of Venus. And the Romans knew why they named this place after the goddess of beauty and love.
