Sestri Levante — sea and legends

Liguria, Sestri Levante
Liguria, Sestri Levante
Those who go to Liguria can't help but see Portofino and the Cinque Terre considered the most beautiful places on the Ligurian coast of the east. Yet there is another one, just 40 km from Genoa and located between two bays. One is called Bay of Fables and the other was baptized Bay of Silence by the famous fairytale man Hans Christian Andersen. It is precisely the bays and the location of the ancient fishing village transformed into a coveted half of holiday, which make Sestri Levante unique and enchanting. The bays also represent two sides of the resort, although in reality there are more. The Bay of Fables is more lively and lively with clubs and beach clubs, while the Bay of Silence, as its name suggests, is quieter and more romantic. It is no wonder that, as legend wants, the Mermaids, enchanted by the magnificent scenery, had elected this place as a home. Now the pastel-colored houses and fishermen's boats pulled dry on the shore are facing it, giving it the even more picturesque look.
