Portofino vibes

Another day trip, though we have learned by now not to drive anywhere in Italy by car (parking spots can be almost impossible to find). Hence we took a 1 hour train to Santa Margherita and from there walked to the famous "fisher's village" (nowadays rather a chicky micky hub), on our way getting a glance of the impressive yachts, each worth several tens of millions of euros. At one point we witnessed an entire boat staff waiting for the owner in order to get him to shore. But we were disappointed: no George Clooney anywhere.
It's easy to see why all the rich and famous like to hang out here. The combination of the crystal clear sea and a colourful village carved into the surrounding hills makes for a beautiful chillout spot. For us normal people without our private yacht, however, the slightly calmer but still gorgeous village of Santa Margherita was a little more worthwhile. We enjoyed a great dinner work Aperitivo, ligurian pasta with genovese pesto, bufalla pizza, tiramisù and espresso - or in short: enjoyed the dolce vita.Read more
