    The grotto named after the writer Lord Byron is one of several grottoes that can be seen from a cliff-top in Portovenere towards Cinque Terre. The sea lingers here partly wild, partly picturesque the high rocks, which offers a magnificent natural spectacle.

        Stairs in the rock lead to the sea, which has carved particularly beautiful shapes into the black rock here.
