Walk from Central Rapallo to Portofino along the coast, explore Portofino, have a lovely lunch and then catch the ferry back, an ideal day especially in May/June or September/October

Hiking

Portofino is a fishing village located on the Italian Riviera southeast of Genoa. Colorful houses, boutiques, and restaurants line the Piazzetta, a small, cobblestone square overlooking the harbor. From the Piazzetta, a path leads to the church and the Castello Brown, a 16th-century fortress offering beautiful views of the town and the Ligurian Sea.
