Between the Côte d'Azur in the west and Tuscany in the east, Liguria is a magical coastal region in Italy. The third smallest region in the country, Liguria is actually just a narrow coastal strip with the port city of Genoa in the middle. To the west of it stretches the Riviera di Ponente, to the east the Riviera di Levante. In a very small area, you will find everything your heart desires in Liguria: beaches, steep cliffs, picturesque fishing villages and the Ligurian Maritime Alps. "Mare e Monti" - sea and mountains. The extraordinary topography makes the coastal strip so unique. Snorkelling, hang-gliding, whale watching, free climbing: in Liguria the spectrum of leisure activities ranges from extreme sports to sunbathing. 300 kilometres of coastline on the Ligurian Sea The rows of sun loungers and parasols on the beaches of Pietra Ligure, Finale Ligure and Diano Marina are perfectly aligned. In Liguria, it is not the wide sandy beaches like on the Adriatic that invite you to spend a day at the beach, but manageable beaches in picturesque bays. Numerous properties in Liguria offer a fantastic sea view and score points with a top location on the mountainside. Between the coastal town of Ventimiglia on the border to France and Imperia lies the Riviera of Flowers with its numerous beaches and rocky coves. A completely different picture awaits you on the Riviera di Levante, which stretches between Genoa and the port city of La Spezia. Dark cliffs rise steeply from the Ligurian Sea in many places. Northwest of La Spezia, a very special highlight awaits you. Five picturesque fishing villages perch on the steep cliffs by the sea, the Cinque Terre. The houses with their burgundy, sunny yellow and sand-coloured façades seem to be stacked on top of each other.
