Santa Margherita

Santa Margherita Ligure

The bus ride along the mountain ridge included a light shower, but the skies were clearing when we arrived at Santa Margherita. This is a beautiful resort town with a permanent resident population around 10 thousand. The tourist season was just beginning so the crowds were very light.

The port was once mainly a fishing port but now tourists are docking here to enjoy the Mediterranean weather and scenic mountainside. It is a short drive from Genoa, and close to Rapallo and Portofino. Camogli is on the other side of the tiny peninsula.

    1. Most Mediterranean cities are excellent places to visit. May is an ideal month, not too warm and not too busy.
