Italian Riviera: Santa Margherita, Ligure
Santa Margherita Ligure is a combination of old and new. Wake up early
enough and you can still find local fishermen unloading their daily
catch and see locals gossiping on the benches that dot the harbor. Visit
the harbor later in the day and you will see yachts so big and from so
many exotic places that you will think you are in Monaco.
Santa Margherita Ligure lies between the Cinque Terre to the south and
Genova to the north. Located in the middle of the Italian Riviera, Santa
Margherita is a cheaper place to stay than Portofino, but it is no less
beautiful. Located about 3.75 miles (6 km) from Portofino you can walk
to Portofino by following the signs.
The town of Santa Margherita is large enough that it can easily absorb
the tourists that arrive by boat, train or bus, while still providing a
small town feel. Visitors can take a walk along the palm lined harbor,
wander through the marina or enjoy the small town beach.
